Harris win's Nebraska's 2nd Congressional District
ABC News projects that Harris will win the electoral vote from Nebraska's 2nd Congressional District. Trump had already picked up the Cornhusker State's two statewide electoral votes, as well as the electoral votes from the state's other two congressional districts.
New Jersey projected for Harris
It wasn't quite as suspenseful as some other states, but we were still waiting for a projection from New Jersey until just now. Unsurprisingly, Harris has won the state's 14 electoral votes.
Three more House projections
ABC News has made three more projections in the battle for the House.
-In Ohio's 13th District, Democratic Rep. Emilia Sykes has won reelection. We had this district rated Likely Democratic, but it's currently just a 2-point race.
-Republican Tom Barrett has won Michigan's 7th District. That's big for Republicans because this is currently a Democratic-held seat.
-Republican Rep. Mike Lawler has won reelection in New York's 17th District. Biden won this district handily in 2020, but Lawler proved a strong incumbent.
Harris wins Minnesota
ABC News projects that Harris will win Minnesota's 10 electoral votes, bringing her total to 204.
