US Election Results 2020: RACE TO 270 | The US media has projected wins for Donald Trump so far in 19 states including Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri, Ohio and Tennessee -- all states he won in 2016. Biden has captured 17 states including his home state Delaware and big prizes California and New York, as well as the US capital. As with Trump, so far, all states claimed by Biden were won by Democrat Hillary Clinton in 2016. So far, that gives Biden 213 electoral votes and Trump a maximum of 138, because Nebraska splits its electoral votes based on congressional district. The magic number is 270. The following is a list of the states won by each candidate and the corresponding number of electoral votes, based on the projections of US media including CNN, Fox News, MSNBC/NBC News, ABC, CBS and The New York Times.
TRUMP (138)
BIDEN (213)
Twitter Hides Trump Tweet Claiming Biden 'Stealing the Election’ | Twitter hides Trump’s tweets where he predicted ‘big win' in US polls. “Some or all of the content shared in this Tweet is disputed and might be misleading about an election or other civic process,” a Twitter note said after Trump’s tweet was hidden by micro-blogging site.
'A big WIN': Donald Trump | “We are up BIG, but they are trying to STEAL the Election. We will never let them do it. Votes cannot be cast after the Polls are closed!” Trump tweeted minutes after Biden's statement. In a separate tweet, Trump said, "I will be making a statement tonight. A big WIN!"

‘We’re Going to Have to be Patient’: Joe Biden | “I am optimistic about this outcome…I am grateful to all my supporters. It's not over till every vote, every ballot is counted. Confident about Arizona, that's a turnaround, still in the game in Georgia. I am feeling really good about Wisconsin and Michigan. We're gonna win Pennsylvania, but it will take time to count votes,” Biden said in Delaware.
Trump's Campaign Advisor Unhappy With Fox News for calling Arizona for Joe Biden | Trump's campaign advisor has expressed displeasure over Fox News calling Arizona for Joe Biden. With the race being neck-and-neck, all news firms except Fox have avoided projecting a winner in Arizona, a crucial battleground state that Trump needs to capture to further his chances of re-election.
WAY too soon to be calling Arizona...way too soon. We believe over 2/3 of those outstanding Election Day voters are going to be for Trump. Can’t believe Fox was so anxious to pull the trigger here after taking so long to call Florida. Wow.

Biden Set to Speak Shortly on US Presidential Election Results | Democrat Joe Biden will speak shortly on the election results, as many of his key states remain too close to call. The Biden campaign gathered the press pool that covers him in Wilmington, Delaware, for an early Wednesday morning statement but offered no further guidance. Biden has spent the night watching the returns come in from his home, while reporters waited near the Chase Center in downtown Wilmington for potential remarks. Biden began his day early Tuesday with a handful of campaign stops across the all-important state of Pennsylvania as voters went to the polls. Hours after the polls have closed across America, however, the result of the presidential election remains unclear. A number of key states still have hundreds of thousands of ballots outstanding, after a large influx of mail ballots have slowed down the count in states across the nation.

A Round-up of US Election Results 2020 at 10:30am: | President Donald Trump was leading Democratic rival Joe Biden in the vital battleground state of Florida and in several other competitive swing states that will help decide the election, including North Carolina, Ohio and Texas. Fox News network projected Trump would win Florida. Biden was eyeing the so-called "blue wall" states of Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania that sent Trump to the White House in 2016, but vote counting could stretch for hours or days there. Trump held early leads in those three states, but much of that was built on Republican-heavy Election Day voting. The counting of mail-in ballots in all three states was expected to take hours or days. In Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, mail-in ballots cannot be processed until Election Day. Fox News projected Biden would win Arizona, giving him a potential path to victory with the "blue wall" states.

That was when Matthew Woods, a 59-year-old Trump supporter and traveling musician from Upland, California, who was dressed as a Revolutionary War soldier, challenged the Biden side to a sing-off. We sang My Country, Tis of Thee, God Bless America, Woods said of his group of about 20 people. At first, the 30 or so Biden supporters "refused to sing, though one sang Kumbaya. I walked over and stood beside them. The opposing groups holding signs for their candidates soon started singing together and even posed for photos, according to Woods.

Counting could take some time this year, and that's OK, ABC's George Stephanopoulos said at the top of his network's coverage. Not knowing the outcome tonight does not mean the process is broken. It does not mean the election is unfair. What's most important is that every citizen who casts a valid vote gets that vote counted, however long it takes. Because different states will report the early vote at different times and maybe not even Tuesday night the tallies could look significantly weird, said Fox News Channel's Martha MacCallum.
