Harris is expected to win New Mexico, worth five additional votes.

Trump won the first swing state of North Carolina around an hour ago. 

The candidates have won in their respective red and blue states, however, the five remaining swing states-  Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin- remain in the air.
