US election 2024 live results: Donald Trump wins

Donald Trump has 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.

Kamala Harris is yet to comment on her crushing defeat as Trump secured the magic number of 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 percent to 47.5 percent, 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.

As world leaders rushed to congratulate Trump, Kamala elected not to appear at Howard University in Washington DC, where a watch party had been planned in anticipation of victory but which ultimately ended in tears with supporters leaving early.

Harris planned a party at her alma mater on Election Night. It ended in tears

15:25 , John Bowden

Kamala Harris’s dream of becoming the first woman to be elected US president quickly turned into a nightmare for the crowd that gathered at Howard University late Tuesday evening.

Election Night was understandably depressing for Democrats. The party lost its majority in the Senate and saw Donald Trump return to the White House in January with a powerful conservative majority on the Supreme Court — the near worst-case scenario many in the party were warning about for months.

The tears definitely flowed on the Yard outside Frederick Douglass Hall as the night grew long and Harris campaign adviser Cedric Richmond told the crowd that the vice president wouldn’t speak to them. Richmond vowed that the campaign would fight “overnight,” but Trump’s lead in Pennsylvania and other states made the realities clear.

VOICES: We’ve all learned the hard way about protest votes and Trump – don’t do it

15:10 , Lauren Bulla

As election day in North Carolina came to its final moments, voters sat close to their television screens and phones alike waiting to see which way the swing states would turn this election cycle. I was one of them.

For me – plus many of my friends and family – this result has brought with it a whole new level of fear and dismay. We were the first swing state to go; the first to watch Trump turn us red all over again. Despite our democratic governor, Attorney General Josh Stein, taking the seat; Republicans claimed the state. The margin was razor-thin, but ultimately it wasn’t enough. The question we’re all left asking now is: why?

Trudeau offers congratulations to Trump

13:43 , Athena Stavrou

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau offered his congratulations to Donald Trump upon his re-election to the White House.

Mr Trudeau and Mr Trump experienced their share of run-ins during the Republican leader’s first term as president, with a tariff dispute and the export of protective masks previously coming between the pair.

Mr Trudeau posted to X on Wednesday: “Congratulations to Donald Trump on being elected President of the United States.

“The friendship between Canada and the U.S. is the envy of the world. I know President Trump and I will work together to create more opportunity, prosperity, and security for both of our nations.”

Second Trump administration ‘represents a clear and present danger to our democratic norms’, ACLU says

13:30 , Joe Sommerlad

This is what Anthony D Romero, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), has to say about Trump’s election win:

“While Donald Trump may have been democratically re-elected, a second Trump administration represents a clear and present danger to our democratic norms, processes, and institutions. Fortunately, our nation is stronger than one man or political party — no matter how determined they may be to upend our democracy.

“At the ACLU, we’re clear-eyed about the chaos and destruction a second Trump administration will cause for our nation. That’s why we’re done with handwringing, admiring the problem, or waiting anxiously to see which unlawful actions President-elect Trump will take on day one. We are ready to take action the minute Trump takes the oath of office.

“We know President-elect Trump will keep his promise to target the ‘enemy within’ — which, for Trump, means anyone who disagrees with him. He is dead serious about seeking retribution against his political nemeses and deploying federal government law enforcement to shut down protests and muzzle dissent. However, as the premier defender of freedom of speech and freedom of association, the ACLU has a 105-year track record of fighting such abuses of power.

“President-elect Trump has also been crystal clear about his plans to deport one million immigrants every year. Yet, we know past attempts at mass immigration raids have shown there is no way to deport one million immigrants without rampant mass due process violations and race discrimination.

“Earlier this year, the ACLU developed a blueprint and roadmap to defend our rights beginning on Inauguration Day. So, when President-elect Trump targets immigrants, dissidents, and his political opponents, we will challenge him in the courts, in state legislatures, and in the streets.”

Will Elon Musk join Donald Trump’s new administration?

13:25 , Athena Stavrou

Elon Musk’s transformation of X, formerly Twitter, into a political machine supporting Donald Trump could see the billionaire rewarded with a place in the president-elect’s new administration.

The SpaceX boss has become Trump’s most vocal fan and one of his biggest financial backers during the US election, which has seen X become an unofficial Republican Party campaign tool.

Musk’s influence has been so stark that, in his speech to supporters on election night in the US after he declared victory, Trump paid a lengthy tribute to Musk, calling him a “star” of the Republican Party and a “wonderful” guy.

Trump has also suggested the tech boss could be given a role in his new cabinet around cost-cutting or government efficiency – a role Musk had previously called to be created to help reduce government spending.

Musk’s management of X has been highly controversial, ever since he tool control of the platform in late 2022.

As well as changing its name, he dismissed more than half the platform’s staff and dismantled its content moderation team.

Starmer seeks ‘strong, special relationship’ with US after Trump election win

13:05 , Athena Stavrou

The UK will work with Donald Trump on economic and security issues, Sir Keir Starmer said as he insisted the “special relationship” will prosper with the new president-elect.

The Prime Minister congratulated Mr Trump on a “historic election victory” after American voters returned him to the White House.

Sir Keir was among the first world leaders to congratulate Mr Trump as the Government sought to build bridges with the president-elect after the Republican politician’s campaign filed a legal complaint about Labour activists supporting rival Kamala Harris.

Senior Labour figures, including Foreign Secretary David Lammy, have also been strident in their criticism of Mr Trump in the past.

But the Prime Minister said: “As the closest of allies, we stand shoulder to shoulder in defence of our shared values of freedom, democracy and enterprise.

“From growth and security to innovation and tech, I know that the UK-US special relationship will continue to prosper on both sides of the Atlantic for years to come.”

Charity warns Trump’s victory poses a ‘dangerous threat’ to women’s rights

As Donald Trump officially wins the 2024 presidential election, international charity Action Aid has said the result poses a “dangerous threat” to women’s rights in the US and across the world.

Hannah Bond, Co-CEO at ActionAid UK said: “Trump’s election poses an existential and dangerous threat to women and girls rights across the world and to global peace and security.

“Millions in America will be waking up to a future where their reproductive rights and freedoms are fundamentally at risk, particularly the most marginalised people.

“For women and girls facing crises across the world – whether in Gaza or in Ukraine – this is a devastating result that threatens global peace and security.”

When will Trump officially take office?

11:47 , Athena Stavrou

Donald Trump has officially won the 2024 US election – but what happens now?

The Republican nominee has surpassed the 270 electoral college votes needed to secure victory after winning key battleground states. While there are a few more states left to announce their results, they cannot change the outcome of the race now.

There will now be a period of time known as the transition, which gives the new administration time to appoint cabinet members and finalise plans for their time in office.

Formal voting by the members of the Electoral College takes place in mid-December.

The president-elect is then officially sworn into office on January 20 in an inauguration ceremony held on the steps of the Capitol building in Washington DC.

‘A dark, dark day’: Ed Davey responds to ‘dangerous’ Trump victory

11:31 , Athena Stavrou

Ed Davey has called for stronger ties with the EU as he labelled Donald Trump’s election victory as a “dark, dark day”.

The UK Liberal Democrat leader branded Trump as a “dangerous, destructive demagogue” who “undermines the rule of law, human rights, international trade, climate action and global security”, as the Republican’s victory was confirmed.

“Millions of Americans – especially women and minorities – will be incredibly fearful about what comes next. We stand with them,” he wrote on X/Twitter.

“Families across the UK will also be worrying about the damage Trump will do to our economy and our national security, given his record of starting trade wars, undermining NATO and emboldening tyrants like Putin.”

He added that fixing the UK’s “broken” relationship with the EU is “even more urgent than before”, adding: “We must strengthen trade and defence cooperation across Europe to help protect ourselves from the damage Trump will do.

“Now more than ever, we must stand up for the core liberal values of equality, democracy, human rights and the rule of law – at home and around the world.”

Donald Trump has officially secured victory in the presidential election – but there are a few more results to come.

After the results in the battleground state of Wisconsin were confirmed, the Republican presidential nominee secured the 270 electoral college votes needed to confirm his win.

Counting is still underway in the swing states of Michigan, Arizona and Nevada – but the results here now cannot change the outcome of the race.

Maine and Alaska are also yet to be called – with the former expected to be a win for the Democrats and the latter for Republicans.

Donald Trump’s claws back Pennsylvania and breaks the Blue Wall

09:30 , Joe Sommerlad

The Republican’s victory in Pennsylvania seals a stunning comeback for the former and future president and ruptures the Blue Wall once again, writes our own Richard Hall from the Keystone State.

It was the prize target of both campaigns, who together spent an unprecedented $1.2 billion on ads and held rallies in towns big and small across the state.

Joe Biden used stories of his difficult childhood here in Scranton to beat Trump in 2020 and clinch the presidency.

Questions were asked early on about whether Kamala Harris could win here without that personal history and connection to white working-class voters, perhaps by turning out larger numbers in the cities of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.

Pennsylvania was also the site of an assassination attempt on Trump. That near miss, at a rally in the town of Butler, reinvigorated his campaign.

But it was Trump’s message on the economy that appeared to break through.

Throughout the campaign, voters across the state expressed concern about inflation and the economy. Even young voters, traditionally a reliable voting bloc for the Democratic Party, said the same.

“I’m scared for my future. I want my future economy to thrive,” Kelsey Moyer, a 20-year-old student at Indiana University, told The Independent in September.

“Both presidents have had a four-year span and you can see the difference in the country.”

Trump made gains in rural areas across the state, but also in urban areas like Lackawanna County — home to Scranton — and in the Bellwether of Erie. He won half of independent voters, according to exit polls.

His biggest gains came with Latino voters, appearing to win close to half of them, according to NBC’s exit poll.

With its 19 electoral votes, Pennsylvania is the most valuable of the swing states.

One in three people of color voted for Trump

09:20 , Oliver O’Connell

Donald Trump picked up one in every three votes cast by people of color in the 2024 election, according to an exit poll published late on Tuesday.

The NBC News survey’s finding indicates that the the American electorate has become less politically divided along racial or ethnic lines, with particular groups less likely to behave as unified voting blocs.

This comes despite the former president’s campaign being dogged by a number of racial controversies.

As of Wednesday morning, Trump has clinched projected victories in crucial swing states North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Georgia.

On the ground in Florida as Trump claims victory

08:35 , Andrew Feinberg

The scene outside the West Palm Beach, Florida convention center looked something like a cross between a crime scene and a carnival.

On a normally busy crossroads, not far from the bridge between the wealthy enclave of Palm Beach — the location of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence — and the more modest community of West Palm Beach, a mass of police cars, dump trucks and other heavy vehicles blocked the way to the convention hall, which was ringed by the kind of riot-proof fencing that became ubiquitous in Washington just four years ago after Trump fomented a riot after losing the last presidential election.

It was just after 1:00 am, and it was starting to look as if the most famous felon in America was on a glide path back to the White House. And while hundreds of his well-heeled supporters were packed inside the hall awaiting him, an impromptu vigil had sprung up along the road, with more supporters lining the grassy median, faces pressed against the fence, in hopes of catching a glimpse of his motorcade.

The crowd of roughly 100 people were so busy watching for the ex-president turned president-elect that they missed a bonafide MAGA celebrity as he walked towards the convention center.

It was Nigel Farage, the Member of Parliament for Clacton and the leader of the Reform UK Party. Thousands of miles from Westminster, Farage was in Florida to celebrate the return of his friend to the highest office in America.

Though he passed by the crowd of Trump supporters unnoticed, The Independent spotted him and quickly approached him to ask for his thoughts on the night’s events.

“I’m very happy — you guys got it all wrong again,” he said.

Farage wasn’t the only person to express some scorn for the press.

Although most of the reporters who’d come to Florida for election night were safely inside the convention center, the Trump campaign failed to credential foreign press outlets from a whole host of countries. As those television reporters stood on the sidewalk to broadcast, a man in a car that was stopped at the intersection began taunting them, asking if they were “crying.”

At just past 1:30am, Fox News called Pennsylvania for Trump, all but foreclosing Vice President Kamala Harris’s path to the White House.

Almost immediately, it began to rain.
