Watch live: 2024 election news, analysis and results

Join Washington Post reporters for live election results and analysis as votes are counted across the U.S. to elect the next president and decide the balance of power in Congress. Vice President Kamala Harris and former president Donald Trump are facing off in a historic presidential election that will bring the first female president in the U.S. or a second Trump term.

Libby Casey anchors live coverage with Rhonda Colvin. The Election Insights team, led by James Hohmann and Principal Data Scientist Lenny Bronner, are at the touchscreen breaking down live results and projections. Leigh Ann Caldwell and JM Rieger report live from Trump’s and Harris’s campaign headquarters throughout the night. Reporters around the country bring minute-by-minute updates live from the seven battleground states, as the candidates’ paths to victory narrow. We will also be joined by columnist David Ignatius and chief correspondent Dan Balz from The Washington Post’s own election night watch party.

The gritting of their teeth after Trump spoke warms the cockles of my heart

[MsGrimstock]

5:42:00 NC called. Around 6:00:00 anchors start to look really sad. 7:01:50 Georgia called. 7:12:00 Republicans take senate. 8:26:00 PA called

[bradsmith]

And the winner is...Donald Trump. We're loving it.

Leigh Ann Caldwell speaking about Trump's message in the week leading up to the election whilst all of MSM is calling him and his supporters Nazis., "it was a very dark message". Here's an idea, maybe hire some actual journalists to report election results.

6:08:50 "We're still neck and neck in some of the key states." So much for unbiased reporting.

At 6:13.00 the lady started talking about diabetes medication going down, I hate to say this, I am diabetic and my medication went up. Thank you for reminding me that I voted for the right person

[twd]

Please be honest and look inward. This was not a referendum on Trump. This was a referendum on the Left.

[chadjohnson]

I hope the washington post gets canceled

[konstantintenko]

6:44:53 her face and his honest opinion, one of the best parts

[thed]

I can do two things at once.
I have a to-do list and an enemies list.

[bluemagiccleaners]

I am so pleased. Hopefully words get held and not overthrown

[bokwood]

They twisted themselves like a pretzel to try to spin the results in Harris's favor. Very enjoyable!

[thelastminmom]

Worried idiots, tryin to tell Trump how to run his campaign?? Trump knows better than anyone what he needs to do.

[knastusdk]

8:14:07 Unbelievable coping. This race was over at least an hour before this moment, yet these WP anchors think they have the authority to keep their audience hanging on. Not that I expect anything less from them, but this moment is really just quite embarrassing.

[westonmj]

Very Startling. These people are startled. Im startled how much propaganda these people spew

[jakelansing]

ALL WE DID WAS VOTE FOR TRUMP TO END KAMALA TONIGHT. TRUMP IS OVER 270 NOW. IT'S DONE. SHE'S GONE.

[radleysmith]

Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson, PBD, RFK, Elon Musk, Megan Kelly....Kamala Harris you just took one hellava beating

[NeverHaveKids]

The cope and slant during this broadcast is palpable.

[tatulvinoy]

Crying democrats and their media gang members 😂😂😂😂😂

[daindarmody]
