CNN writes that with 99% of the votes in the state counted, Trump won 49.7%, while his main opponent Kamala Harris won 48.7%. Independent presidential candidate Robert Kennedy Jr. is in third place with 0.5%.

Trump thus received 10 more electoral college votes, bringing his total to 277 out of the 270 required.

In addition to Wisconsin, Trump won other key states: Pennsylvania, Georgia and North Carolina.
