US Election Results: Republican nominee and former President Donald Trump is leading in the trends in the US Presidential elections and is seemingly heading towards an easy win.

Republican former president Donald Trump won strongholds including Florida and Texas, while Democratic vice president Harris took several eastern states including New York as results started to flow in.

In the race for Senate control, Republicans picked up a crucial win in West Virginia.
