Election Day 2024 live results and analysis: Polls now closed in more than half the states
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. According to 538's forecast, both candidates have a roughly equal chance to win.
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!
Key Headlines
- ABC News projects Trump will win Florida
- Harris preparing to speak tonight regardless of vote status: Sources
- Vermont reelects Bernie Sanders but also reelects its anti-Trump Republican governor
- Florida’s abortion rights ballot measure is very close
- Will Indiana or Missouri elect its first female governor?
Republican Senate win in Indiana
ABC News is also projecting that Republican Jim Banks will win the Senate race over Democrat Valerie McCray in Indiana. Banks is a Trump supporter who voted against certifying the 2020 election won by Biden, and Trump endorsed him in this race. Democrats haven't won a Senate race in the state since 2012.
Florida is counting fast
Florida is known for counting its votes fast, and it's living up to the billing tonight: One-third of the expected vote is already in. Trump is at 51%, and Harris is at 48%.
Indiana projected for Trump
ABC News is projecting that Trump is expected to win Indiana’s 11 electoral votes. That is not a surprise. In previous elections, he won the state by 57% to 38% over Clinton in 2016, and 55 to 32 over Biden in 2020.
We have our first presidential race projections of the night
Now that all polls have closed in Vermont and Kentucky, ABC News is projecting that Harris will win Vermont's three electoral votes, and that Trump will win Kentucky's eight votes. Of course, this should come as no surprise; according to the final 538 forecast in these two states, there was a less than 1 in 100 chance of either state flipping its support from the party it backed in 2020.
