Donald Trump will return to the White House after claiming a stunning victory over his opponent Kamala Harris, data shows.
He has become only the second president in history to win on non-consecutive terms after securing the 270 electoral votes needed, according to figures from our US partner network NBC.
Trump, who previously served as president between 2017 and 2021, was the first to pick up a swing state after he was declared the winner of North Carolina.
Around an hour later he was declared the winner of Georgia – the second key swing state to be announced.
Shortly later, he was projected as the winner of Pennsylvania – touted as the most pivotal of the seven battleground states.
Trump then headed to Palm Beach to address his supporters while Ms Harris’s aides said she wouldn’t speak tonight as her path to victory dwindled.
The race initially appeared neck and neck as Americans went to the polls, but Trump pulled ahead as result predictions came in from solidly red states including Florida, Texas and Alabama throughout the night.
