Kamala Harris’s team repeatedly warned the public that her supposedly deadlocked presidential contest against Donald Trump would last for days. In the end, the former Republican president secured his victory over the Democratic vice president not seven full hours after the polls closed on most of the East Coast.

Harris was the second Democratic presidential candidate in three elections to lose the Electoral College to Trump. She’s also the first to lose the popular vote against him, and it’s not exactly close. At press time, Trump has beaten Harris by a staggering 5 million votes out of more than 143 million cast. Moreover, Republicans are projected to win the Senate majority with a decisive edge while maintaining House control.
