The Democratic Party retained control of the House and is projected to add five more seats, according to FOX News.

Pennsylvania and Georgia have called it a night and will continue to count ballots Wednesday.

With millions of votes yet to be counted, President Trump alleged election fraud, pledged to mount a legal challenge to official state results and made a premature claim of winning.

Speaking at the White House on Wednesday morning, Trump claimed that he’d won many states that are still counting ballots, including Georgia, North Carolina and Pennsylvania, Washington post reports.

Joe Biden, who is Trump’s Democratic challenger, insisted earlier that “we believe we’re on track to win this election,” citing Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan, where votes were still being tallied in a bitterly contested presidential election that may take days to resolve. “It ain’t over till every vote is counted,” Biden said.

More than 100 million people cast their ballots in early voting before election day on Tuesday – setting US on course for its highest turnout for a long time.
