PremiumNevada, North Carolina, Arizona US Election results 2024 LIVE Updates: President-elect Donald Trump emerged victorious in Arizona, Nevada, and North Carolina, calling an end to the tight race that has been going on since November 5.
Harris entered the race in July as the Democratic nominee after President Joe Biden stepped down, creating the potential for her to become the first woman to hold the office. Trump, despite surviving two assassination attempts and becoming the first former president to be convicted of a felony earlier this year, is determined to reclaim the White House as the Republican nominee.
Trump has already won North Carolina and Georgia, Florida, a one-time battleground that has shifted heavily to Republicans in recent elections. He also notched early wins in reliably Republican states such as Texas, South Carolina and Indiana, while Harris took Democratic strongholds like New York, Massachusetts and Illinois, Washington.
Swing states Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, Arizona, Wisconsin, North Carolina and Nevada, were expected to decide the election outcome.
Exit Polls reveal a nearly even split between the two candidates, especially in the seven battleground states — Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin — that could ultimately decide the outcome. These swing states, with a mix of closely divided voters, are receiving the most campaign attention and funding, as each candidate works to sway undecided voters on issues like the economy, which has emerged as a primary concern.
Final election results may not be projected immediately on Election Day, as swing states require time to count all votes. In 2020, for instance, it took four days to project a winner after Pennsylvania’s results were confirmed. However, early projections and key swing state results will likely give a strong indication of the outcome soon after votes begin to be counted.
All eyes are now on these battleground states as both Harris and Trump prepare for a high-stakes finish in a race that could shift the nation’s political landscape.

California's Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom, a fierce critic of former president Donald Trump, on Thursday called for lawmakers to convene a special session later this year to safeguard the state’s progressive policies on climate change, reproductive rights and immigration ahead of another Trump presidency.
The move — a day after the former president resoundingly defeated Vice President Kamala Harris in the presidential race — effectively reignites California's resistance campaign against conservative policies that state Democratic leaders started during the first Trump administration.
“The freedoms we hold dear in California are under attack — and we won’t sit idle," Newsom, who reportedly has ambitions on the national stage, said in a statement. “California has faced this challenge before, and we know how to respond. We are prepared to fight in the courts, and we will do everything necessary to ensure Californians have the support and resources they need to thrive."
US President Joe Biden urged Americans to "bring down the temperature" on Thursday following Republican Donald Trump's election victory and sought to console fellow Democrats who were alarmed by the former president's stunning comeback.
"Setbacks are unavoidable. Giving up is unforgiveable," Biden said at the White House Rose Garden as he addressed staff who were disappointed in Vice President Kamala Harris' defeat. "A defeat does not mean we are defeated."
Biden said Tuesday's election had proven the integrity of the US electoral system and said he would preside over an orderly tranfer of power - an implicit rebuke of Trump, who sought to overturn his 2020 defeat to Biden and raised baseless claims of fraud this year as well.
The final state calls are coming in for the US presidential election, with President-elect Donald Trump at 295 electoral votes, well past the 270 needed for victory, and Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris at 226, US networks said.

Joe Biden's name wasn't on the ballot, but history will likely remember Kamala Harris' resounding defeat as his loss too.
As Democrats pick up the pieces after President-elect Donald Trump's decisive victory, some of the vice president's backers are expressing frustration that Biden's decision to seek reelection until this summer — despite long-standing voter concerns about his age and unease about post-pandemic inflation as well as the U.S.-Mexico border — all but sealed his party's surrender of the White House.
“The biggest onus of this loss is on President Biden," said Andrew Yang, who ran against Biden in 2020 for the Democratic nomination and endorsed Harris’ unsuccessful run. “If he had stepped down in January instead of July, we may be in a very different place."
Biden will leave office after leading the United States out of the worst pandemic in a century, galvanizing international support for Ukraine after Russia’s invasion and passing a $1 trillion infrastructure bill that will affect communities for years to come. - AP
Donald Trump’s U.S. presidential election victory has sent shockwaves through Black American communities, which voted overwhelmingly for Democratic candidate Kamala Harris despite a campaign by her Republican rival to court Black men.
While Trump made gains among Black Americans in North Carolina and some in the community celebrated his win, nationally his vote share among Black voters was unchanged in the Tuesday vote from 2020, according to an exit poll conducted by Edison Research, which showed a much larger swing towards Trump among Hispanic voters.
Black voters were important to President Joe Biden's victory over Trump in 2020, when Harris was also elected as the first Black and first Asian-American U.S. vice president. Had she won on Tuesday, Harris would have become the United States' first woman president. -Reuters

Proposition 36: Frustrated with what they see as rampant retail crimes, voters approved an initiative making shoplifting a felony for repeat offenders again and increasing penalties for some drug charges, including those involving the synthetic opioid fentanyl.
Proposition 32: This would increase the minimum wage to $18 per hour by 2026, up from the current rate of $16 per hour for most people. It was too early to call as of Wednesday afternoon.
Proposition 4: California voters approved a plan to borrow $10 billion for various climate programs, the state’s largest investment to date in fighting climate change. - AP
In anxious conversations across the U.S. on Wednesday, many Democrats were struggling to understand what led their neighbors to vote Republican Donald Trump back into the White House.
Some feared that Tuesday's presidential election showed that their values – left-leaning, socially liberal – were now firmly a minority among Americans in a divisive campaign. Others were frustrated with the Democratic Party's leadership, who they said had lost touch with much of the electorate who wanted help with the rising cost of living.
With few exceptions, Democrats worried about the future for themselves, family and friends after Tuesday's results revealed the electorate's pronounced shift to the political right. -- Reuters
In a concession speech at her alma mater Howard University on Wednesday afternoon, Kamala Harris sought to console the voters who had hoped she would become the first woman to win the White House.
"To everyone who is watching, do not despair," she said. "This is not a time to throw up our hands. This is a time to roll up our sleeves."
Harris said she had called Trump to congratulate him and promised to aid his transition. But she was not prepared to embrace his vision for the country.
"While I concede this election, I do not concede the fight that fueled this campaign," she said.
US President Joe Biden will make a painful address to the nation Thursday, vowing a peaceful transfer of power to Donald Trump after his political nemesis scored a crushing election win over Kamala Harris.
