US election 2024 live results: Donald Trump wins

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

After the result in the battleground state 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.

In addition to the presidential, Senate, House of Representatives and gubernatorial races taking place yesterday, 10 states had access to abortion questions on the ballot: Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Nebraska, Nevada, Maryland, Missouri, Montana, New York and South Dakota,

Counting is still underway in Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona and Nevada but Trump has already delivered a victory speech to his supporters in Florida.

Spare a thought for the more than 65m Americans who proudly voted Harris-Walz yesterday and attended watch parties last night hoping for a brighter future, only for it to all end in tears.

A Trump victory raises questions about his agenda for a second term and whether he will continue with the divisive rhetoric that marked his campaign.
