Election Day 2024 live results: Trump projected to win Pa., third swing state
We're tracking races for president, Senate, House and more across the country.
In the high-stakes presidential match-up between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump, results have been projected in several of the key swing states, and Trump has secured enough Electoral College votes to appear on track for a second presidency.
Beyond the presidential race, also voters hit the polls around the country Tuesday and cast ballots to decide who controls not only the White House, but also Congress, state and local governments.
Reporters from 538 and ABC News are 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.
Key Headlines
Harris projected to pick up Rhode Island
ABC News has projected that Harris will pick up Rhode Island’s four electoral votes. Harris' victory in the deep blue New England state does not come as a shock as polls consistently showed her leading Trump by double-digits.
Republicans slated to win some down-ballot races in North Dakota
ABC News has projected that Republican Sen. Kevin Cramer will win his reelection battle. Further down the ballot, Rep. Kelly Armstrong, a Republican, also won the gubernatorial race against Democrat Merrill Piepkorn. North Dakota is a solidly red state, so these results shouldn’t be too shocking. In 2020, Trump defeated Biden 65% to 32%.
Louisiana projected to go Republican as expected
ABC News is projecting that Trump will carry Louisiana. Nothing surprising here as the state has been firmly in the GOP column in presidential races since it moved away from Democrats in the 2000 election.
Harris up in Pennsylvania, but lots of Election Day votes to come
We have about 22% of the expected vote reporting from Pennsylvania, and Harris leads Trump by about 17 points, 58% to 41%. However, her ability to hold onto the lead in Pennsylvania with so many votes left is definitely open to question. Many of the big blue counties in the state (Philadelphia, Allegheny, Montgomery and Delaware) haven't reported that many votes yet, but the ones they have are, in many cases, mail ballots or other more Democratic-leaning tranches that have Harris doing much better than Biden. Once we get more Election Day votes in the tally, however, the state will be much tighter.
