We tracked races for president, Senate, House and more across the country.
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 by flipping the key swing states of Georgia, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. Plus, Republicans are set to take back the Senate majority, with at least 51 seats locked down — while control of the House remained up in the air.
Reporters from 538 and ABC News are following 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 coverage in full below.

Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, who is leaving GOP leadership, addressed reporters Wednesday in the Capitol for the first time since Republicans seized control of the Senate.
“It’s certainly a happy day for the GOP. And let me start by congratulating President Donald Trump. What he’s accomplished has not been done… since Grover Cleveland -- which is a while back," McConnell said.
McConnell said the results of the election were a “referendum of the current administration in part -- people were just not happy with this administration and obviously the Democratic nominee was a part of it."
McConnell said "the filibuster is very secure" with Republicans controlling the Senate.
"One of the most gratifying results of the Senate becoming Republican -- the filibuster will stand, there won’t be any new states admitted to give a partisan advantage to the other side and we'll quit beating up the Supreme Court every time we don’t like a decision they make. So, I think this shifting to a Republican Senate Majority helps have control of the guard rails," he said.
