The Daily is reporting on election night in America and events live on campus. This is a breaking story and will continue to be updated.

Wednesday, 12:15 a.m.

The second congressional district in Maine and Pennsylvania were called for Trump, bringing his electoral total to 267. 

Trump just needs to win Alaska or any other uncalled swing state — Nevada, Arizona, Wisconsin or Michigan — to secure the presidency. 

Harris gained 14 electoral votes as New Hampshire and Minnesota were called, bringing her total to 224. She must secure all remaining states in order to win the presidency. 

Some students at On Call Cafe Tuesday night said they were stressed by the results. Jack Moreland ’27 said he felt the results were “pretty awful… this is kind of the worst case scenario in that Donald Trump is going to win.” Katya Bigman ’27 said she was “a little bit surprised” by “how overwhelming it seems like the Republican sweep is.”

But other students were more ambivalent on the outcome of the election.

Eddy Jiang ’28 said he hasn’t followed the election too closely and doesn’t believe the “state of the country will change” following the results.  

Sohil Ather ’27 said she felt “pretty neutral” about the results, as she is from Canada. “It’s just been really, really good seeing the community at Stanford come together to watch election night today,” she said. 

Steven Wan ’28, who is from Australia, said that he is “just trying to observe the situation as objectively” as he can.

”You know, in a democracy, the result is what the people voted for,” Wan said. “So I personally don’t necessarily have any emotions, but I certainly feel and appreciate the sadness around me and I really do respect that.”

Tuesday, 10:15 p.m.

As of 10:00 p.m., Trump leads with 247 electoral votes as swing state Georgia and the first district of Nebraska were called in his favor, according to AP News.

Harris trails behind at 210 electoral votes. 

Amy Cao ’28, who was following results at On Call, described the atmosphere in the room in reaction to Georgia being called in Trump’s favor “pretty solemn.” She noted that “now people have just stopped watching the results of the election.”

Tuesday, 9:30 p.m.

Oregon, New Mexico, Hawaii, Virginia and the second congressional district in Nebraska have been called for Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris, according to AP News. 

This brings the electoral totals to Harris at 210 and Trump at 230. Several swing states, including Michigan and Pennsylvania, remain uncalled.

The result of this election will have global impacts beyond just the 50 states. Around 12% of Stanford’s student body consists of international students. 

Bridget Phillips ’26, an international student from Canada, wishes she could have voted. “As a woman, a person with a uterus, I feel quite frightened, and I think plenty of my female friends do as well,” she said. 

On the other hand, some international students feel Trump’s influence as president would align better with their country’s politics.

“The Argentinian president has a very close relationship with Trump. So if Trump wins, I guess that’s positive for Argentina because of their relationship,” said Lichu Acuña ’26, who is from Argentina.

Julia Lima Da Fonseca M.A. ’25, an international student from Brazil, said that she believes this election will impact her country less than past years, since she believes her home country is “already in a downward slop in terms of political matters.”

Vedant Singh ’27, an international student from India who was watching results come in at a watch party at Tresidder, said he put “a hell of a lot of money” on Harris winning.

Tuesday, 8:22 p.m.

Republican candidate Donald Trump leads the electoral vote with 230 to Democratic candidate Kamala Harris’ 179. In order to win the presidential election, a candidate must reach 270 electoral votes before their opponent in order to be announced as the winner.

All swing states have closed their polls, but states including swing states Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin have yet to be called for either candidate, though Trump has a lead in all of them.

Alexis Sapp ’28 said she voted for Harris and that it felt “a bit jarring seeing the numbers right now.” “It’s a lot of red going on,” she said. 

Alaska, Hawaii and Idaho are the only states who have not closed their polls.

At Tresidder, approximately 200 students are watching results come in on CNN at the Arbor. The Robber Barons, a sketch comedy group, performed a democracy-related show at 8 p.m.

“I have been trying to avoid it [discussing the election] because I have been waiting for more votes to come in, and I’m a little terrified and don’t know what to do,” Jack Hsieh ’27 said. “I feel like when there’s more information it will be easier to process, but right now it’s like a state of utter and slightly negative chaos.”

Sapp said that she was concerned about reproductive rights and racial justice if Trump were to win the presidency. When asked how she would react if Trump won, she said, “I don’t know. I think I’ll cry for a bit. And I just feel like, regardless of what happens, we can move forward as a country.”

Students cheered loudly when it was announced that Harris had won California.
