Das Wichtigste in Kürze:

• The vast majority of states have been counted. Trump has surpassed the required 270 electoral votes and also won the popular vote. A triumph across the board.
• Harris accepts her defeat. During a speech, however, she indicated that she would like to remain at the head of the Democratic Party. Her personal battle is not over.
• Democrat leader Jaime Harrison announced that he would retire next year. Even before the defeat, he was criticized for sticking with Joe Biden as the candidate for too long.
