(NewsNation) — Former President Donald Trump is projected to win a second term in the White House, but the outcomes of other hotly contested races remain unclear as election officials tally votes Wednesday.
Election night 2024 live results: Donald Trump projected to win presidency
The fates of several House and Senate seats were also uncertain as totals continued to roll in from precincts throughout the country.
Election officials publish unofficial results after the polls close on Election Day, but those results will fluctuate as officials count in-person, mail-in, provisional, overseas and military ballots.
Each state has its own rules for when different kinds of ballots can be counted.
Throughout election night and — in some states — several days later, unofficial results will periodically change to reflect those totals.
