Trump also flipped Georgia, which had voted for Democrats four years ago, and retained the closely contested state of North Carolina.<\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s gains sharply curtailed Harris\u2019 path to victory.<\/p>\n<p>The crowd at Harris\u2019 watch party at her alma mater, Howard University in Washington, began to file out after midnight after a top Harris ally sent supporters home, with no plans for the Democratic vice president to speak.<\/p>\n<div class=\"HTMLModuleEnhancement\" data-align-fullwidth=\"\">\n<div class=\"HTMLModuleEnhancement-item\">\n<div class=\"HTMLModuleEnhancement-embed\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><em>\u201cWe will continue overnight to fight to make sure that every vote is counted.

She will be back here tomorrow.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Trump was set to address supporters early Wednesday from his campaign\u2019s watch party in Florida.<\/p>\n<p>Trump also won Florida, a one-time battleground that has shifted heavily to Republicans in recent elections. He also notched early wins in reliably Republican states such as Texas, South Carolina and Indiana. Harris won Virginia, a state Trump visited in the final days of the campaign, and took Democratic strongholds like New York, New Mexico and California. Harris also won New Hampshire and an Electoral College vote in Nebraska that was contested by Republicans.<\/p>\n<p>The Trump campaign bet that it would cut into Democrats\u2019 traditional strength with Black and Latino voters, with the former president going on male-centric podcasts and making explicit racial appeals to both groups. Nationally, Black and Latino voters appeared slightly less likely to support Harris than they were to back Joe Biden four years ago, and Trump\u2019s support among those voters appeared to rise slightly compared to 2020, according to AP VoteCast.<\/p>\n<p>The fate of democracy appeared to be a primary driver for Harris\u2019 supporters, a sign that the Democratic nominee\u2019s persistent messaging in her campaign\u2019s closing days accusing Trump of\u00a0<span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/trump-john-kelly-nazis-hitler-87d672e1ec1a6645808050fc60f6b8bc\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\">being a fascist<\/a><\/span>\u00a0may have broken through, according to the expansive survey of more than 110,000 voters nationwide. It also found a country mired in negativity and desperate for change.<\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s supporters were largely focused on immigration and inflation \u2014 two issues that the former Republican president has been hammering since the start of his campaign.<\/p>\n<p>In his recent visits to North Carolina, Trump seized on the heavy damage caused Hurricane Helene, spreading false claims about the federal government\u2019s response and using GoFundMe to collect millions in donations for impacted residents. Trump initially trumpeted the Republican nominee for governor, Mark Robinson, and hailed him as \u201cMartin Luther King on steroids,\u201d but distanced himself after a CNN report that alleged Robinson had made explicit racial and sexual posts on a pornography website\u2019s message board more than a decade ago.<\/p>\n<p>Robinson, who lost his race Tuesday to Democratic Attorney General Josh Stein, denied writing the messages and sued CNN for defamation last month.<\/p>\n<div class=\"Infobox\" data-module=\"\" data-gtm-region=\"The 2024 election is here.

They picked up another when Republican Jim Justice won a West Virginia seat that opened up with Sen. Joe Manchin\u2019s retirement.<\/p>\n<p>Those casting Election Day ballots mostly encountered a smooth process, with isolated reports of hiccups that regularly happen, including long lines, technical issues and ballot printing errors. Federal election security officials said there were minor disruptions throughout the day but there was no evidence of any impact to the election system. Officials determined that bomb threats that were reported in multiple states were all not credible and did not impact the ability of voters to cast their ballots.<\/p>\n<p>Harris, 60, would be the first woman, Black woman and person of South Asian descent to serve as president. She also would be the first sitting vice president to win the White House in 36 years.<\/p>\n<p>Trump, 78, would be the oldest president ever elected. He would also be the first defeated president in 132 years to win another term in the White House, and the first person convicted of a felony to take over the Oval Office.<\/p>\n<p>He survived one assassination attempt by millimeters at a July rally. Secret Service agents foiled a second attempt in September.<\/p>\n<p>Harris, pointing to the warnings of Trump\u2019s former aides, has labeled him a \u201cfascist\u201d and blamed Trump for putting women\u2019s lives in danger by nominating three of the justices who overturned Roe v. Wade. In the closing hours of the campaign, she tried to strike a more positive tone and went all of Monday without saying her Republican opponent\u2019s name.<\/p>\n<p>Voters nationwide also were deciding thousands of other races that will decide everything from control of Congress to state ballot measures on abortion access in response to the Supreme Court\u2019s vote in 2022 to overturn Roe v. Wade.<\/p>\n<p>In Florida, a ballot measure that would have protected abortion rights in the state constitution failed after not meeting the 60% threshold to pass, marking the first time a measure protecting abortion rights failed since Roe was overturned. Earlier Tuesday, Trump refused to say how he voted on the measure and snapped at a reporter, saying, \u201cYou should stop talking about that.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 Donald Trump won Pennsylvania early Wednesday, putting him just four electoral votes shy of defeating Kamala Harris to win the White House.
