Trump claims in his victory speech that he has won the popular vote. That's a little premature; while he does currently have 5 million more votes than Harris, Harris is expected to add to her total as more ballots are counted in states like California. If Trump does win the popular vote, it will be a remarkable achievement: Only one Republican (George W. Bush in 2004) in the last eight presidential elections has done so.
Wisconsin could be one of the next states to be projected. One of the big things we're waiting for there is for all the absentee ballots in Milwaukee to be counted, which is done all together at a central location. According to Alison Dirr of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, that process is just getting started.
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.
