Former President Donald Trump won Tuesday's election for president with 72.8 million votes to Vice President Kamala Harris' 68 million votes, according to unofficial results. Trump did better in more rural areas of Illinois and Harris fared better in urban areas.
In Illinois, President-elect Donald Trump accomplished a feat no Republican presidential candidate has in more than 30 years: He turned the state a lighter shade of blue.
Illinois residents headed to the polls Tuesday to decide local and national races, which range from US president to state ballot initiatives. Results are coming in.
