Election Day 2024 live updates: Trump, Harris take early state wins in presidential contest

Vice President Harris and former President Trump are notching early wins in states where the polls closed the earliest on Election Day.

The race has remained stubbornly deadlocked for weeks, with many pundits acknowledging it's essentially a jump ball. The Hill and Decision Desk HQ's polling aggregate finds Harris and Trump tied nationally at 48 percent.

Harris is set to spend the evening Howard University, her alma mater, in Washington, D.C., while Trump will watch returns at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida. The former president cast his ballot Tuesday morning in Florida alongside his wife and former first lady Melania Trump.

Control of the House is also up for grabs, and political observers of all stripes will be watching with anxious anticipation for early signs Tuesday of which party will hold the gavel in the next Congress.
