The New York Times is calling Donald Trump as the likely winner of the US election, projecting 297 Electoral College seats. 

Only one President in history has returned to the White House after a break, rather than serving consecutive terms.  

Senior Political Correspondent Barry Soper reminds Heather du Plessis-Allan the Democrat vote often comes in late – and there are lots of votes still to be counted. 

Plus, the Waitangi Tribunal are being accused of leaking the change in schedule to the Treaty Principles Bill’s introduction to Parliament. The Bill will now be introduced on Thursday, more than a week earlier than originally planned. 

Soper says the Waitangi Tribunal needs to reflect on its position within the backlash that has since ensued.
