Watch live as Donald Trump speaks at his campaign watch party after the Republicans won two crucial swing states in the presidential election on Wednesday (6 November).

The chances of Kamala Harris securing the White House have narrowed significantly as Trump won North Carolina and Georgia, two of seven crucial battleground states.

In Palm Beach, there are scenes of jubilation from Trump supporters as they await remarks from the Republican nominee.

The economy and the state of US democracy are among the top issues cited by voters in NBC News’s exit poll, according to the preliminary results.

Thirty-five percent said democracy was their top issue while slightly fewer, 31 percent, said the economy. Abortion was the top issue for 14 percent of voters while 11 percent said immigration. Four percent said foreign policy was most important to them.
