Former President Donald Trump has won the key state of Wisconsin, defeating Vice President Kamala Harris in a critical battleground.

The win delivers 10 Electoral College votes to Trump.

He narrowly won Wisconsin in 2016, becoming the first Republican since Ronald Reagan to capture the state. He lost it in 2020 to Democrat Joe Biden. Both Harris and Trump made Wisconsin a central focus of their campaigns. In 2020, Trump attempted to overturn his loss in the state through lawsuits and recounts, but failed.

The Associated Press declared Trump the winner at 5:34am EST.
