Vermont governor Phil Scott, a Republican, has been a critic of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and voted for Democrat Joe Biden in the 2020 election.

Kamala Harris also clinched Illinois, Delaware, New Jersey, Maryland, Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island.

Donald Trump won Florida, a one-time battleground that has shifted heavily to Republicans in recent elections. He also notched early wins in reliably Republican states such as Texas, South Carolina and Indiana, while Harris took Democratic strongholds like New York, Massachusetts and Illinois.

Indiana, the reliably conservative state where Republicans have held the governor's office for 20 years, gave Donald Trump its 11 electoral votes over Democrat Kamala Harris.

Donald Trump won Kentucky for the third consecutive election, adding eight electoral votes to his tally. The Republican nominee for the president has won Kentucky in every election since Democrat Bill Clinton carried the Bluegrass State in 1996.

Kentucky's most powerful Republican, Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell, once called Trump “morally responsible” for the January 6, 2021 Capitol attack. But in a remarkable turnaround, McConnell endorsed Trump's bid to return to the White House. During Trump's term, the two worked together to pass a tax cuts package and to put three conservative justices on the Supreme Court.

Follow US Election Live: Polls close in key swing states as voters decide between Harris and Trump

Reuters reported that Georgia is among seven battleground states likely to decide the contest's winner, with opinion polls showing the rivals neck and neck in all seven - Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin - going into Election Day.

Democracy and the economy ranked by far as the most important issues for voters, with around a third of respondents citing each, followed by abortion and immigration. The poll showed 73% of voters believed democracy was in jeopardy against 25% who said it was secure.

The data underscored the depth of polarization in a nation where divisions have only grown starker during a fiercely competitive race. Trump employed increasingly apocalyptic rhetoric while stoking unfounded fears that the election system cannot be trusted. Harris warned that a second Trump term would threaten the underpinnings of American democracy.

The figures represent just a slice of the tens of millions of people who voted, both before and on Election Day, and the preliminary results are subject to change during the evening as more people are surveyed.

Hours before polls closed, Trump claimed on his Truth Social site without evidence that there was "a lot of talk about massive CHEATING" in Philadelphia, echoing his false claims in 2020 that fraud had occurred in large, Democratic-dominated cities. In a subsequent post, he also asserted there was fraud in Detroit.
