Harris calls on her supporters to stay engaged in the fight for US democracy. Plus, prosecutors to drop criminal cases against Trump

Good morning.

Kamala Harris formally conceded the election to Donald Trump on Wednesday, calling on her supporters to “never give up” and to fight for American democracy as he prepared to choose his top team.

How many people voted for Trump compared with 2020? The vote count is ongoing – but Trump is expected to hit the 74m votes he won in 2020, while Harris looks set to fail to reach the 81m votes Biden gained in 2020.

When will we know? It may take days yet to determine the winner of the House – in 2022, it took more than a week.
