US presidential election day highlights: Biden inches close to victory, Trump campaign files lawsuit
- Joe Biden has won 253 electoral votes and Donald Trump 214
- There are six states still left uncalled, including key battlegrounds such as Pennsylvania and Arizona
- Biden has captured Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Illinois, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and New York
Democrat Joe Biden seared ahead in the race to the White House by winning the state of Wisconsin 49.4% to 48.8%. By winning he flipped the state that Donald Trump had won in 2016. Out of the 538 electoral college seats, Biden now has 253, while Trump has 214.
A candidate needs to secure 270 electoral seats to secure victory. There are six states still left uncalled, including key battlegrounds such as Pennsylvania and Arizona — meaning both Trump and Biden still have a path to victory.
Trump has already won 23 states including big prizes Florida and Texas, as well as Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri and Ohio — all states he won in 2016.
Biden has captured 20 states including his home state Delaware and big prizes California and New York, as well as the US capital.
