US President Donald Trump has won Florida and has also won Ohio while Joe Biden took New Hampshire.

Other battleground states remain too close or too early to call.

The calls were the first and only in an election night that, as many experts warned, has been so far slow yield results.

Trump was leading Biden in Florida with 51.2 percent to 47.7 percent with 96 percent of the expected vote in.

North Carolina is a neck-and-neck race with 50.1 percent for Trump and 48.7 percent for Biden with 95 percent of the expected vote in.

In Texas, a conservative stronghold that became surprisingly competitive, the president was ahead 52.1 percent to 46.5 percent with 88 percent of the expected vote in.

But Biden leads in Arizona, where the Democrat had 53.6 percent to Trump's 45 percent with 76 percent of the expected vote in. NBC News projects he also comfortably won the former swing states of Virginia and Colorado, which have trended blue in recent years, along with New Mexico, in which Trump's campaign briefly attempted to compete.

The critical Rust Belt states like Pennsylvania and Michigan are expected to be slower to count and release results while Georgia officials have announced a delay in vote county in the state's largest county, which includes Atlanta.

In Florida, Biden is underperforming Hillary Clinton in Miami-Dade County, the state's biggest and home to a large Cuban-American community that Republicans had targeted. But Biden is running better than Clinton did in 2016 in other counties.

Trump had to win Florida to have any real shot at re-election, most analysts agree, while Biden has multiple paths to victory that do not include the state, his campaign aides have noted, such as winning back Upper Midwest states Trump flipped four years ago and where Biden has been leading in polls.

After millions of door-knocks, TV ads and a record-shattering $14 billion spent, a tense and stressed-out nation is waiting for the results an unprecedented presidential election to see whether Trump will get another four years in the White House or be replaced by his Democratic challenger.

Polls have now closed in all of the 13 swing states where the presidency will be decided: Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Texas.
