Trump put on a dominating performance in the general election. He nearly swept all the battleground states. He claimed Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania – the states he needed to get through the supposed "blue wall" of Democrat-favored states.

Trump had received nearly 75 million votes as of early Monday. Harris had more than 71.2 million votes.
