Election Day 2024: Live results and analysis

With projections made in most states across the country, ABC News 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, including by flipping the key swing states of Georgia, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.

Beyond the presidential race, voters also hit the polls around the country Tuesday and cast ballots to decide who controls Congress, state and local governments. Reporters from 538 and ABC News followed along every step of the way with live updates, analysis and commentary on the results. Follow our election-night coverage in full below.

Judge extends Pa. county voting hours after bomb threat

A Pennsylvania judge granted a petition in Clearfield County to extend voting until 9 p.m. after a bomb threat targeted an administrative building where votes were being counted.

The judge made an oral ruling and a written petition will be filed in the morning, a spokesperson said.

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro confirmed there was a series of bomb threats in the state and said his office is collaborating with local, state, and federal law enforcement in response to the threats.

"Thus far, there is no credible threat to the Commonwealth," he said.
