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.

A GOP hold and a tight race in Iowa’s competitive House seats

ABC News has projected that Rep. Zach Nunn will hold onto his seat in Iowa’s 3rd District, fending off Democratic challenger Lanon Baccam. Baccam had a lead earlier this evening, but will fall short by around 4 points.

Meanwhile, Mary wrote earlier about the tight race in the 1st District between Republican Rep. Miller-Meeks and challenger Christina Bohannan, who had a small lead earlier in the evening. The last few counties may be enough to put Miller-Meeks over the edge. She’s leading by fewer than 500 votes with 98% of the vote reporting…. Though that'd still be a bigger lead than her 6-vote win back in 2020.

As part of his victory speech, Trump thanked Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the former independent presidential candidate who dropped out and endorsed him. Trump also hinted at a health-related role for Kennedy in his administration: "He's going to make America healthy again." Kennedy is known for his skepticism of vaccines.

Texas Rep. Henry Cuellar will remain in Congress

ABC News is projecting that Democratic Rep. Henry Cuellar will retain control of Texas’s 28th District. With 90% of expected vote reporting, Cuellar led his challenger, Republican Jay Furman, 52% to 48%. The close election here is somewhat surprising as Republicans didn’t target the district in the hopes of flipping it as they did in 2022.
