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.

Chris Murphy projected to win a third term in the Senate

ABC News is projecting that two-term incumbent Connecticut senator Chris Murphy will (perhaps expectedly) go back to the chamber for a third term.

So we'll want to keep seeing data from other spots before saying Loudoun is a signal of a national trend.


Maryland, Massachusetts, and Washington, D.C. go to Harris

ABC News is projecting that Harris is expected to win Washington D.C., Maryland, and Massachusetts. That will add 24 electoral college votes to her column, but these results shouldn’t be a surprise — both states, and Washington D.C., are overwhelming Democratic.


Republicans projected to take Florida's Senate race, 13th and 27th Congressional Districts
