Donald Trump has won two of seven key swing states of North Carolina and Georgia as results poured in the US election.

Kamala Harris and Trump need at least 270 electoral votes to win, but as was the case in 2020, we may not get the election results tonight. That’s because in a race that has been projected to be extraordinarily close, more votes will need to be counted before a winner can be projected.

Five of the other seven swing states that will go a long way to deciding the outcome of the race – Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin – are yet to call.

Outside of the US presidential race, Republicans have won the US Senate — winning control of the chamber for the first time in four years.
