Kamala Harris will likely call Donald Trump today to concede defeat: Report

Democratic candidate Kamala Harris will likely call her Republican rival Donald Trump on Wednesday to concede defeat in the US presidential election, the country's television media reported today, citing two of her aides.

President Joe Biden also plans to call Trump and will speak publicly about the election results, NBC News reported.

Donald Trump was elected US president on Tuesday, four years after he was voted out of power.

Kamala Harris replaced President Joe Biden, who withdrew from the race in July due to age-related issues.

Donald Trump needed 270 Electoral College votes to win his second presidency. His win in the swing state of Wisconsin pushed him over the 270 Electoral College votes mark.

As of 8 a.m. ET (1300 GMT) Trump had won 279 electoral votes to Harris' 223 with several states yet to be counted, Edison Research projected.

Donald Trump led Kamala Harris by more than 5 million popular votes.

This is a developing story.
