Exit poll results: What do the first election polls say?

Donald Trump won the presidential election with a sweeping set of victories across the battleground states as Kamala Harris was branded “classless” for failing to concede more than nine hours after his success was declared.
The president-elect is on course to become the first Republican to win the popular vote since George W Bush in 2004 in a remarkable comeback after losing in 2020 and facing trial for attempting to overturn the result.
Ms Harris left her election party on Tuesday night without addressing the crowd but is expected to concede defeat publicly this afternoon in a speech to the nation.
“She didn’t have the decency to walk out and say something… make a comment to the United States,” Barbara Heineback, a former Democratic White House staffer. said “It shows us how classless she actually is…a sore loser.”
Brian Mast, a Florida congressman, also urged Ms Harris to press ahead with her concession speech. “It’s time for Kamala Harris to concede,” he wrote on X. “The people have spoken and President Donald Trump has won.”
Trump’s victory leaves the Democrats in tatters and Ms Harris humiliated after one of the shortest presidential campaigns in history ended in a heavy defeat.
