Kamala Harris has fallen short.
Donald Trump is set to return to the White House after securing more than the 270 Electoral College votes needed to secure the presidency.
Harris has since gone radio silent but is expected to formally concede the election at 10am this morning.
NZ Herald Political Editor Thomas Coughlan told Mike Hosking that the writing was on the wall only a couple of hours after the results started to roll in.
“They do realise that they need to change,” he told Hosking.
"Almost every county has swung Republican – Harris performed worse than Biden.”
He says it’s very clear that what the Democrats had on offer was profoundly inadequate for what the people wanted.
