Former president Donald Trump has claimed victory in the US presidential election, after a dominant performance that saw him flip multiple swing states and win the popular vote.

While counting was continuing in several contests at the time Trump took the stage to address supporters in Florida, at about 2:30am on Wednesday, local time, the Democratic candidate had no path to victory.

"This is the greatest political movement of all time," Trump told supporters at his West Palm Beach election night event.

"Now it is going to reach a new level of importance because we're going to help our country heal."

If Trump is successful, he will be only the second US president to win non-successive terms, following in the footsteps of Grover Cleveland who did it in 1884. And his vice-president will be JD Vance.

Both candidates dominated in their traditional heartlands in early calls, and as the night went on, Trump began taking the lead in most battleground states.

AP called the first of seven swing states for Trump — North Carolina — just after 3:15pm on Wednesday AEDT. He also won the state in 2020.

Trump had visited the state in each of the last three days of the campaign, in a multi-state blitz that seems to have paid dividends.

The crowd at the West Palm Beach event was jubilant. In a scene reminiscent of the Republican National Convention, supporters danced along to the Village People's disco classic YMCA, an anthem that has become synonymous with the Trump campaign.

North Carolina journalist Danielle Battaglia , who is the Washington correspondent for two newspapers, was speaking to ABC Newsradio when the news broke and said she was "not surprised" the state voted for Trump.

She said said race probably played a roll in the result, with a low turnout of black male voters who might've voted for Harris. But she also said Trump's character was key to his success.

"[People in North Carolina] are drawn to him, and his rallies just emphasised so much energy and he gets the excitement going with his followers and I think he continues to just perform well there."

Georgia was the next swing state called for Trump came a call for Georgia at 4:40pm AEDT.

After North Carolina fell, Harris was left dependent on the "blue wall" of Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin as her shrinking possible path to victory.

Harris was watching the count from Washington DC, at an election night party at Howard University, a historically Black university where she graduated in 1986.

It became clear after 12:30am local time that Harris would not address supporters.
