Donald Trump is preparing to select his top team ahead of his return to the White House, after Kamala Harris vowed a “peaceful transfer of power”
In her first speech since losing the election, Harris told supporters: “I know many people feel like we are entering a dark time, but for the benefit of us all, I hope that is not the case”
In a decisive victory, Trump won five of the seven battleground states – and is ahead in the final two yet to declare, Nevada and Arizona
Meanwhile, Republicans have retaken control of the US Senate; they also lead the contest to control the House of Representatives, but it could take days for a final result.
Nevada and Arizona are the two swing states left to declare their results – with votes still being tallied.
The other five – Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin – have all been taken by Donald Trump. Altogether, the seven make up 93 electoral votes.
Currently, with 94% of expected votes counted, Trump has 51.0% and Kamala Harris has 47.2% in Nevada.
And, with 70% of expected votes counted, the Republican has 52.3% and Harris has 46.8% in Arizona.
We will be posting the final results from both states on this page.
