It's looking more and more like Florida and its 29 electoral votes will go to President Donald Trump. Here's what you need to know.
If Trump wins the Sunshine State, the presidential race will turn to Ohio, North Carolina and Texas . Right now, Former Vice President Joe Biden is leading by 32 Electoral College votes. In the Senate, each party has flipped one seat and in the House, Democrats flipped two seats while Republicans flipped one.
Polls closed in 14 more states at 9 p.m. EST, including the pivotal battlegrounds of Michigan and Arizona.
The president is inching closer to clinching Florida's 29 electoral votes as Former Vice President Joe Biden is underperforming in Democrat-leaning Miami-Dade county. Right now, Trump leads with 91 percent of precincts reporting.
Democrats aren't feeling great about Biden's chances in North Carolina, but Ohio — considered a must win for the president — is looking more competitive than expected.
In Colorado , Democrat John Hickenlooper defeated the incumbent, Sen. Cory Gardner, marking the first flipped Senate seat for Democrats this evening. In Alabama, Republican challenger Tommy Tuberville beat Sen. Doug Jones, flipping the seat for the GOP.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell coasted to a comfortable victory over challenger Amy McGrath in Kentucky. And GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham won his reelection bid in South Carolina, despite a stiff challenge from Democrat Jaime Harrison.
Several key Senate races are drawing closer to a result — in North Carolina, Democratic challenger Cal Cunningham is neck and neck with GOP Sen. Thom Tillis with 84 percent of the expected vote in.
Viewers can expect more clarity in this hour on the uncalled swing states, minus those not expected to count enough of their ballots on Tuesday night. We're still waiting on states like Georgia and North Carolina.
We're also watching Iowa's Senate race between Democrat Theresa Greenfield and GOP Sen. Joni Ernst — one of the most important in the country. The result could help decide control of the Senate.
