Trump and Harris rack up early wins as America awaits battleground results

A divided America makes its decision in a stark choice for the nation's future Tuesday

Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris notched early wins in reliably Republican and Democratic states, respectively, as a divided America made its decision in a stark choice for the nation’s future Tuesday.

Polls closed in Pennsylvania, Georgia and North Carolina, some of the closely fought battlegrounds expected to decide the election, but the results there were too early to call, as balloting continued in other parts of the country. On Election Day, tens of millions of Americans added their ballots to the 84 million cast early as they chose between two candidates with drastically different temperaments and visions for the country.
