The US election has been called for Donald Trump, and seven key battleground states were key to his victory.

Of the seven, five – Georgia, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Wisconsin and Michigan – have been called.

The votes are still being tallied in the other two — Arizona and Nevada.

See how each of them swing as the ballots get tallied in real-time. So far, all of them are also leaning towards Trump.
