Polls have closed in some states and the first results are coming in in the high-stakes presidential match-up between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump. With wins in Georgia and North Carolina, Trump is in a strong position, though Harris still has a narrow path to victory by sweeping the northern battleground states of Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania.

Voters are still at polling places around the country, casting ballots to decide who controls not only the White House, but also Congress, state and local governments.

Reporters from 538 and ABC News will be following along every step of the way with live updates, analysis and commentary on the results. Keep up to date with our full live blog below!

New York's 1st Congressional District to remain in GOP hands

ABC News has projected that Republican Rep. Nick LaLota will win a second term in New York's 1st District on Long Island, as he leads Democrat John Avlon by nearly 12 points with 88% of the expected vote reporting. The seat was always a longshot for Democrats, who'd hoped that Avlon could break through.

Dems win new Alabama seat

A win by Shomari Figures in Alabama's 2nd Congressional District is a pick-up for the Democrats, one that comes after a Supreme Court decision threw out Alabama's old map because it diluted the voting strength of Black voters. Figures leads Republican Caroleene Dobson 55%-45%, with 84% of the expected vote in.

Republicans could build a sizable Senate majority

Time for a quick overview of where things stand in the Senate. Republicans flipped West Virginia earlier to move the Senate to 50-50, and two other seats could very well flip to them. In Ohio, 90% of the expected vote has been reported, and Republican Bernie Moreno leads Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown, 51% to 46%. Brown looks in very rough shape, needing a ton of help from the remaining votes in parts of Cleveland and northern Ohio to close that gap. In Montana, we barely have any votes reporting so far, but Republican Tim Sheehy is ahead of incumbent Democratic Sen. Jon Tester 56% to 43%.

If they win those two with West Virginia, Republicans would hold 52 seats. But with the presidential race so close in some of the key swing states, the GOP could perhaps add as many as three more to get to 55 seats. In Pennsylvania, Republican Dave McCormick leads Democratic Sen. Bob Casey Jr by 1 point, 49% to 48%, with 68% of the expected vote reporting. In Wisconsin, 60% of the expected vote has reported, and Democratic Sen. Tammy Baldwin and Republican Eric Hovde are tied at 49%. In Michigan, Republican Mike Rogers leads Democratic Rep. Elissa Slotkin 49% to 48%. About the only good news for Democrats in the key races right now is that Democratic Rep. Ruben Gallego leads Republican Kari Lake by 7 points in Arizona with about half the expected vote reporting.
