ABC News currently says Harris (D): 81; Trump (R): 162. This will of course change as more states report results.

Now 91 to 207.
These are projections, not official results. And the western states are still voting, so there's a big batch of almost guaranteed Harris votes that will show up either late tonight or tomorrow morning.

It is 01:22 US-Central. ABC News projections:
Harris (D) -- 194, 62M votes
Trump (R) -- 266, 68M votes
About 9 states still to go.
And remember, these are projections by outside organizations (a television network and the company they hired, probably a polling organization), not official numbers from each state's secretary of state.
At this point, I'm guessing Trump will likely end up with between 285 and 309 electoral votes, assuming that the real numbers turn out to be substantially the same as the TV projections.. 270 is enough to win.
It also looks like the Republicans get control of the Senate (current projection: D 41; I 1; R 51 ... 8 more to go, but 51 is already more than half). The House of Representatives isn't decided yet (current projection: D 189; R 203 ... 41 to go and 218 needed to control the House).
