President-elect Donald Trump won his sixth battleground state of the 2024 election early Saturday, beating Vice President Kamala Harris in Nevada.

The Associated Press declared Trump the winner after concluding there were not enough uncounted ballots in the state's strongest Democratic areas to overcome the former president's 46,000-vote lead over the Democratic nominee.

Trump clinched a second term early Wednesday when Wisconsin pushed him past the 270 electoral votes needed to win, so Nevada's six electoral votes only added to the size of his victory He now has 301 electoral votes and has won six of the seven battleground states. Only Arizona remains to be called.

The AP only declares a winner once it can determine that a trailing candidate can't close the gap and overtake the vote leader.
