Wake up with Good Morning America

| | 🗳️ Former President Donald Trump is projected to win the presidential race by ABC News, defeating Vice President Kamala Harris in a frenzied contest to stage an improbable historic comeback. Trump has at least 279 electoral votes after clinching wins in the swing states of Pennsylvania, Georgia and Wisconsin. Harris has won at least 219 votes, as results continue to come in. Trump took to the stage with his family at West Palm Beach County Convention Center early Wednesday morning to the raucous cheers of supporters as he neared the projected 270 electoral votes needed to win. Tune in to "Good Morning America" at 7 a.m. ET for the latest.
🏛️ Republicans are projected to clinch control of the Senate after flipping at least two key states and successfully protecting their incumbents. Republican Gov. Jim Justice took the seat vacated by Sen. Joe Manchin, the West Virginia independent who caucuses with Democrats. And businessman Bernie Moreno, the Ohio GOP Senate nominee, unseated three-term Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown. Florida Republican Sen. Rick Scott, and Texas GOP Sen. Ted Cruz, two lawmakers in red-leaning states who were Democrats' best pickoff opportunities, are also projected to win reelection, while Nebraska GOP Sen. Deb Fischer was projected to beat an independent challenger. These wins will now at least deliver a 51-seat majority for Republicans, barring any upsets. Republicans also have a prime opportunity to unseat Democratic Sen. Jon Tester in deep-red Montana, though the results of that race have not yet been projected by ABC News.

📜 A measure that would have enshrined protections for abortion rights in Florida's state constitution failed to reach the 60% threshold needed to pass, ABC News projects. A proposition that would have added a limited right to abortion to the state constitution of South Dakota was also projected to fail. Meanwhile, an initiative in Nebraska that prohibits abortions after the first trimester with some exceptions will pass, effectively keeping the state law in place. Seven other states -- Arizona, Colorado, Maryland, Missouri, Montana, Nevada and New York -- were expected to pass propositions expanding or enshrining abortion access.
👀 Some historic firsts occurred in various branches of this year's federal election. Delaware Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester and Prince George's County, Maryland, Executive Angela Alsobrooks are projected to be the first two Black women to serve in the Senate at the same time. And Delaware State Sen. Sarah McBride will become the first openly transgender person to be elected to Congress, ABC News projects. | |
