VP Harris wins NY over Trump, Gillibrand secures another six years in the US Senate

Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris is projected to win New York over former Republican President Donald Trump, adding the state’s 28 electoral votes to her tally as she vies for the 270 needed to secure a victory, according to unofficial election results.

As of 11:40 p.m. Harris was winning the Empire State over Trump by 56% to 44% with 86% of the vote counted, according to the Associated Press. Harris winning New York was an expected outcome in a state where registered Democrats far outnumber their Republican counterparts. However, there are still many states to go, including several of the battleground states that will likely decide the race before the Associated Press and other outlets call a winner.
