From a clear Trump lead to a spike in women voters and wild conspiracy theories on social media, these have been the key moments from the closest election in US history.
After a big day of voting, polls have closed in all American states and millions of people are now anxiously waiting for a final result.
Kamala Harris has already confirmed she will not deliver a speech tonight, prompting her supporters to flock to the exits of her campaign's headquarters, while it is widely expected Trump will speak shortly. "This is what we've been built for, so let's finish up what we have in front of us tonight, get some sleep and get ready to close out strong tomorrow."The gender divide among voters was a key focus this election, with uncertainty about how this split would play out on polling day and what it would mean for each candidate.
Republicans have long been aware that female voters could make or break Trump's fortunes, with one of his closest advisers, Stephen Miller, going so far as to urge men to get to the polls to counteract this surge.So why are American women so motivated to vote this year? Part of it is likely due to reproductive rights.
Vice-President Kamala Harris and her team have campaigned heavily on the issue, insisting Trump can't be trusted on reproductive access. Republicans and Democrats targeted this demographic throughout the campaign, with Harris telling crowds she "loved Gen Z" at a campaign rally a few days ago. On the ground, voters took part in their election day rituals, wiling away the time by exercising, catching up with friends or gathering for democracy parties.
