Last updated: Wednesday, November 6, 2024 8:00AM GMT
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.

Trump adviser says Trump and Harris have not connected yet as of earlier this morning
Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris have allegedly not connected yet as of early this morning, Trump's senior adviser Jason Miller said on ABC News' Good Morning America.
"As of the last time I spoke with President Trump, they had not connected, but we'll see what happens today," Miller said, going on to stress the message of unity.
"I think what President Trump said last night when he's up there on the stage was that he wants to heal the country. This is the time when we put aside the political divisions. We bring Democrats, Republicans, people who aren't necessarily even involved with politics together," Miller said.
