Donald Trump

And even in defeat, his impact is likely to resonate for generations in politics, governing and policy.

Roughly 200 Trump supporters gathered for a third straight day Friday in front of the elections center in downtown Phoenix.

Driving their calculus is an open acknowledgment that Trump’s better-than-expected showing on Election Day ensures that he will remain the Republican Party’s most powerful voice for years to come even if he loses.

Trump's remarks also prompted a rebuke from some fellow Republicans, particularly those looking to steer the party in a different direction in a post-Trump era.

The flurry of policy pronouncements flowing out of the White House ahead of the election has slowed to a trickle.

Trump is at 214 electoral votes. Nevada, which has six electoral votes, is among the states Democrat Hillary Clinton won in 2016 that hasn't yet been called.

Biden addressed reporters Wednesday afternoon from Wilmington, Delaware, alongside his running mate, California Sen. Kamala Harris.

The campaign also says it will ask for a recount in Wisconsin, a state The Associated Press called for Biden on Wednesday afternoon.

In Wisconsin, if a race is within 1 percentage point, the trailing candidate can force a recount.

The night ended with hundreds of thousands of votes still to be counted, and the outcome still unclear in key states he needs if he is to win against Democrat Joe Biden.
