President Donald Trump is projected to win the 2024 presidential election, while the Senate flips to Republicans and the House remains undecided as of early Wednesday.
Trump is currently projected to win at least 286 electoral votes. A total of 270 are needed to secure a presidential victory.
In the presidential race, undecided states as of 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time Wednesday include Michigan and Arizona. In Michigan, Trump holds 49.7 percent of the vote with over 95 percent of the estimated vote count completed, currently leading by about 75,000 votes over Vice President Kamala Harris, according to Decision Desk HQ.
In Arizona, Trump leads with 51.9 percent of the vote and 67 percent of the estimated vote count completed.
Republicans also had a major victory in Senate races, securing a projected 52 seats and the majority over Democrats. Undecided races remain in five states—Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Nevada and Arizona—where the GOP could pick up additional seats.
Republicans currently lead the Senate race in two of the remaining states—Nevada and Pennsylvania. If the latest projections hold, the GOP would have 54 seats in a massive turnaround for the party.
The House majority remains undecided as of early Wednesday. A party needs 218 seats for a majority. Republicans currently hold a 57.9 percent chance to hold 219 seats, according to the latest Decision Desk HQ update.
Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy predicted that Republicans will retain control of the House.
“We’re going to keep the House. We wouldn’t if it wasn’t for the president,” McCarthy said Wednesday on Fox News Channel.
“We need to take this moment as Republicans and not waste it,” said McCarthy. “It should be about addition, not subtraction, welcoming more people into the party. But what you need to do is do your job because you were given an opportunity here.”
If so, Republicans would control the White House, Senate and House, in addition to a majority of conservative justices in the Supreme Court.
