With several states reporting results throughout the night, major news outlets are providing real-time projections as the nation awaits its next leader. Here’s a live update on state-by-state results as they come in.
Key Battleground States Still in the Balance
The race remains tight in key battlegrounds like Michigan and Wisconsin, both crucial for either candidate to secure a win. According to NBC News, Michigan’s winner remains undecided as the state’s vote count is ongoing. Meanwhile, Wisconsin shows Harris and Trump nearly tied, making the state too close to call.

- Texas has been called for Trump, granting him a significant boost with 40 additional electoral votes.
- In the Midwest, Trump currently leads in Iowa, though the official call has yet to be made.
Nebraska and Other States See Partial Results
In Nebraska, where electoral votes are distributed by district, Trump has won the statewide vote as well as in the first and third districts. However, Omaha’s second district remains too close to call, with Harris holding a slight lead. Elsewhere, Harris has secured key wins in New York and Colorado, each adding valuable electoral votes to her tally.

Expected Calls Later in the Evening
With many states still processing ballots, critical states remain on watch. In New Mexico, Harris holds a preliminary lead, though the final call remains pending. Trump has officially won Wyoming, adding three more electoral votes to his count.
- Key states to watch include Arizona and Nevada, both of which could be decisive for the election outcome.
- Other states also remain in active counting, with tension mounting as each update rolls in.
