Election Day is here, and Americans are heading to the polls to make their voices heard.
Polls are now open across the United States. When they close will vary by state and even by county, with most closing between 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. local time. (You can find your polling location here.)
Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump need at least 270 electoral votes to win, but as was the case in 2020, we may not get the election results tonight. That’s because in a race that’s expected to be extraordinarily close, more votes will need to be counted before a winner can be projected.
The candidates spent the last day of the campaign giving their final pitches to voters in battleground states. Trump hosted rallies in Raleigh, N.C., Reading and Pittsburgh, Pa., on Monday, before heading to Grand Rapids, Mich., for his final campaign event. Harris also spent election eve in the Keystone State, hosting campaign events in Allentown, Pittsburgh, and finally, Philadelphia to close out the night.
At this stage, Trump has 230 electoral votes to start with while Harris has 226. Trump will need 40 more electoral votes while Harris will need 44. The final results will be determined by the battleground states
