Donald Trump has won the solidly red states of Texas and Ohio, according to race calls from the Associated Press.

The states both have U.S. Senate races that haven't been called yet, including that of Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown, who's considered one of the most vulnerable Democrats this election season.

These wins put Trump at 178 electoral votes and Harris at 99.
