Vice President Kamala Harris takes California, New York and other traditionally Democratic states, but any path to victory narrows now that Trump has broken through Democrats' "blue wall."
Republicans will control the Senate after flipping some Democratic-held seats. The House is still up for grabs.
Separately, Democrat Angela Alsobrooks became the first Black woman elected to represent Maryland in the Senate, while Democrat Lisa Blunt Rochester will be Delaware's first Black female senator.
