Connecticut projected to stay in the Democratic camp
ABC News is projecting Harris to hold Connecticut’s seven Electoral College votes. The Senate race in the state was also projected for Democratic incumbent Chris Murphy earlier this evening.
We're tracking races for president, Senate, House and more across the country.
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, North Carolina and Pennsylvania, Trump is on track to win the presidency.
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!
ABC News is projecting Harris to hold Connecticut’s seven Electoral College votes. The Senate race in the state was also projected for Democratic incumbent Chris Murphy earlier this evening.
ABC News is projecting that Republican Rep. Monica De La Cruz will retain control of Texas’s 15th District. With nearly 70% of the expected vote in, De La Cruz currently leads her opponent, Michelle Vallejo, 55% to 45%.
Sources close to the Harris campaign told ABC News that her team is getting more nervous, but still they believe they can clinch the blue wall and the Nebraska blue dot.
In the meantime, the mood at Howard University has dampened over the last couple of hours. The night started out with music pumping and crowds dancing. Now, there's a giant screen playing CNN and the crowds are muted, with many glued to the screen.
The crowd cheers anytime races are called for Harris and boos whenever states are called for Trump.
Several Howard University attendees told ABC News the results are making them nervous, but they're still cautiously optimistic.
But one Democratic operative just told ABC News, "I am horrified it is close and going to bed."
A Democratic operative in Wisconsin told ABC News the situation is anxiety-inducing but would still "rather be us than Trump." This person says it could be a "late night again. Right now we have Trump holding a red mirage lead before the absentee ballots."
The source's view is that they won't see absentee ballots until later tonight, and they're already beating Biden's numbers in Waukesha County, arguing that the state-wide strategy is paying off: "holding the line in rural areas and accelerating in urban areas. It's the kind of margin you generate through massive door-knocking campaign."
This operative said, "Blue wall has been core strategy all along and it still is."
A couple of non-incumbent Republican women we're watching are in races that have been called.
In Alabama's 2nd, ABC News projects that Caroleene Dobson will lose, and in New York's 18th District, ABC News projects that Alison Esposito will also lose.
