Watch: 2024 presidential election results map as states turn red or blue for Trump and Harris

Watch live as a US presidential election map animated states turning red or blue as each was called for either the Democrats or Republicans on Tuesday, 5 November.

Donald Trump won a historic second term in the White House after sweeping four of the key battleground states hours after the polls closed on Election Day.

As of Wednesday morning, Kamala Harris is yet to comment on her defeat as Trump secured 270 Electoral College votes by winning Wisconsin – having already picked up North Carolina, Georgia and, crucially, Pennsylvania – and also secured the popular vote by 51 per cent to 47.5 per cent, claiming 77m ballots to Harris’s 66m.

Counting is still underway in Michigan, Arizona and Nevada but those results will not now alter the outcome.

The 45th and now 47th president took to the stage with his family and running mate JD Vance earlier to promise a “golden age for America” and hail “the greatest political movement of all time.”

Republicans have also likely taken control of the Senate, a key victory for the party which has been in minority there since 2021.
