US Election 2020, Results Overview
Biden closes in on 270
Who's in the lead in the states still counting?
Biden appears close to winning the presidency after taking the lead in Pennsylvania with 98% of votes counted. If he wins Pennsylvania, he wins the presidency.
Biden has also taken a narrow lead in Georgia with 99% of votes counted, but officials there announced there would be a recount
But with just a few thousand votes still to be counted, it is still too early to project a winner in both these states that voted for Mr Trump in 2016.
In Arizona Mr Trump is gaining on Mr Biden's early lead as votes come in from the most populous county in the state, Maricopa, which includes state capital Phoenix.
It is also too early to project Nevada, North Carolina and Alaska right now as vote counters await the arrival of ballots posted on or before election day.
