Election Day 2024 live results: Trump projected to win the presidency

One of New Jersey's Senate seats is up for grabs this year after Bob Menendez was convicted of federal corruption charges and resigned in August. Available race results show that Democrats are poised to retain control of the seat, as Rep. Andy Kim has a commanding lead -- 53% to 45% -- over his lead opponent, Republican hotelier Curtis Bashaw with 70% of the vote in.

Notably, before tonight, polling suggested that, a good chunk of voters didn't know enough about either candidate to have strong opinions of them. This didn't appear to hurt Kim, though, who will make history as the first Korean American senator.

In a sense, this result shouldn't be too shocking. New Jersey's voters haven't elected a Republican presidential candidate since 1988, when the state went for George H.W. Bush. And in the U.S. Senate, Democrats have won every race in the state since 1972.

Bashaw and Kim are among six candidates who ran to fill Menendez's seat. George Helmy, a former chief of staff of New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy, is temporarily filling the role.

ABC News projects that Cruz will win the U.S. Senate race in Texas. With roughly 74% of the expected vote in, the incumbent Republican leads his challenger -- Rep. Colin Allred -- by 10 percentage points, 54% to 44%.

As I mentioned earlier, there are not a lot of races where Republicans are in a good position to elect new women to Congress. Let's check in on a few non-incumbents, now.

In North Carolina's 1st District, Buckhout is trailing the incumbent, Rep. Davis, 46% to 51% with 73% of the expected vote reporting.

In Alabama's 2nd District, Dobson is trailing Figures 45% to 55% with 52% of the expected vote reporting.

In New York's 18th District, Esposito trails Ryan 42% to 58% with 71% of the expected vote reporting.

Other Republican women who are projected to win their races are mostly incumbents, with the exception of two: Biggs in South Carolina's 3rd, and Fedorchak in North Dakota's at-large district, who were nominated to run for safe Republican seats.

Another call expected call for Trump -- ABC News now projects that Trump has won the state of Kansas, which last gave its Electoral College votes to a Democrat in 1964, when Lyndon Johnson was on the ballot.
