So far, news networks have declared results for a few states.
States that have voted in favour of Donald Trump are Kentucky, Indiana, Texas, South Carolina, Ohio. Montana, Utah. The AP has also called Florida, a one-time battleground state, in favour of Donald Trump.
Meanwhile, Democrat Kamala Harris won the big prize state of Illinois as well as Rhode Island, Delaware, New York, Massachusetts and Vermont.
What did exit polls predict?
The current results contradict the exit polls. Earlier, exit polls showed that most of the voters favoured 59-year-old Harris over her Republican rival. According to an exit poll by NBC News, 48 per cent of voters nationwide expressed a favourable view of Harris, while 44 per cent supported Trump.
Another CNN exit poll showed that roughly three-quarters of the electorate held a negative view of the way things were going in the US today. According to the poll, only about one-quarter called themselves enthusiastic or satisfied with the state of the nation, with more than four in 10 dissatisfied and roughly three in 10 saying they are angry.

Harris, the Democratic vice president, did phone interviews on Election Day. She is quoted as telling a roomful of her staffers, “This truly represents the best of who we are.” Meanwhile, Trump said, “I’m watching these results. So far so good.”
These elections are historic for a number of reasons. If Harris, the Indian-American who is the first female vice president, wins, she would become the first woman, Black woman and South Asian American to win the presidency.
However, if the US voters choose Trump, the only president to be impeached twice and the first former president to be criminally convicted, he would become the first president to win non-consecutive terms in more than a century.
