With projections made in most states across the country, ABC has projected that former President Donald Trump will win the high-stakes presidential match-up against Vice President Kamala Harris. Early Wednesday morning, Trump secured enough Electoral College votes to set himself up for a second presidency, including by flipping the key swing states of Georgia, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. Plus, Republicans are set up to take back the Senate majority, with at least 51 seats locked down — while control of the House remained up in the air.

Throughout the evening and into Wednesday morning, reporters from 538 followed along every step of the way with live updates, analysis and commentary on these races and all the others down the ballot. Follow our live election-night coverage in full below.

Democrats are leading a lot of statewide races in North Carolina

What's interesting to me about North Carolina this year is that Democrats appear to have performed fairly well in the statewide offices this year. According to the AP, Democrat Jeff Jackson is projected to win the attorney general race against Republican Dan Bishop, and Democrats are currently leading in the secretary of state race, the lieutenant governor's race and the race for superintendent of public instruction. They, of course, were projected to clinched the governor's race earlier tonight, according to the AP. There's a few other statewide races where Republicans lead as well, but North Carolina appears to continue to be a state where voters are very willing to split their tickets, depending on the candidates on the ballot.

Democrats hold suburban Pittsburgh seat

ABC News has projected that Democratic Rep. Chris Deluzio will win reelection in Pennsylvania's 17th District, which takes in much of the turf around Pittsburgh. The blue-leaning seat will remain in the Democratic column, but Republicans might have a chance of flipping two eastern Pennsylvania seats, the 7th and 8th, which we are keeping a close eye on.

Things are down to the wire in Iowa’s 1st District

Iowa’s 1st Congressional District, currently represented by Republican Mariannette Miller-Meeks, is rated as a toss-up in our forecast, but Miller-Meeks has had an edge throughout the campaign.

However, things appear to be coming down to the wire: with 90 percent of the expected vote reporting, Miller-Meeks is behind by two points, 49-51, to challenger Christina Bohannan, a former state representative who also ran against Miller-Meeks in 2022. Notably, Bohannan is running ahead of Harris in every single county in the district, and there’s very little vote outstanding in the counties that have reported so far. The bright spot for Miller-Meeks: Two Republican-leaning counties, Jasper and Washington, have yet to report any votes, and those two counties could net her just enough to make up the gap.
