You have likely heard the 2020 presidential race referred to as the “Battle for the soul of our nation,” by people on either side of the aisle. This election has no doubt been extremely hectic, especially because of all of the delayed mail-in ballots results.

To refresh you on who our two candidates are: Former Senator and Vice President Joe Biden is the Democratic nominee and current President Donald Trump is the Republican nominee. Both candidates are drastically different from each other. Joe Biden’s campaign has been running on how his administration would handle the pandemic, how to combat climate change, and affordable healthcare. Donald Trump’s campaign has been running on promises to improve the economy and infrastructure.

As called by Associated Press and many other sources, Joseph Biden has won the presidential race and will be the 46th president of the United States of America. More numbers by state will be updated shortly.

10:20 AM 11/6

Alaska: Trump is leading by 54,610 votes with only 50% votes reported. According to Forbes  the lack of reported votes is due to the way they count. On election night they only counted the votes that were cast on election day and early votes that were cast in person through Oct. 29. The absentee ballots and early ballots cast after Oct. 29 won’t be counted until Nov. 10. Alaska does it this way so they can count all the in-person votes so they can ensure that people don’t vote both in-person and by mail.

Georgia: Brad Raffensberger, Georgia’s state senator confirmed they will conduct a recount due to the small margin between the two candidates.

8:33 AM, 11/6

Pennsylvania:  Biden has a 5,606 count lead in a state that has 98% reported votes which flips Pa. blue.

Nevada: Biden is leading by 11,438 votes with only 84% votes reported.

North Carolina: Trump is leading by 76,701 votes with 94% votes reported.

If the states that are left to be called stay the way they are leaning, Trump will finish with 232 electoral votes and Biden will finish with 306 electoral votes resulting in Biden surpassing the required 270 electoral votes to win the seat.

07:38 AM, 11/6

Arizona: Newly counted ballots bring Biden’s lead down from 69,000 to 46,000.

Georgia: Biden is now in the lead in Georgia by 1,o97 votes.

Joe Biden is winning both the popular and electoral votes with 72,202,856 individual votes and 264 electoral votes as per the Associated Press. Pennsylvania, Georgia, and North Carolina are all leaning red but have not been called yet due to mail-in ballots still needing to be counted. If Donald Trump wins those states he will have 265 electoral votes, just shy of the required 270 in order to secure his second term seat. Nevada is the last blue state that needs to finish counting votes; if Biden wins this state he will have won the electoral college.
