The former US President Donald Trump leads rival democratic candidate Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential race.

US media projected Trump having secured victories in 25 states, including Texas, Florida and Ohio as well as several other Republican-leaning states.

This is while Harris has secured victories in 14 states, including the big states of California, New York and Washington.

So far, Trump has won 230 electoral votes and Harris 210.

All results are unofficial until local election officials across the country verify the outcome in the coming days.

Official election results from states and counties are never reported on election night, in any of the US states.

Results that are released by counties and states after the polls close on Election Day are preliminary results.

A candidate also needs 270 electoral votes to secure the presidency.
