Biden turns on Trump and takes the lead in Georgia | 2020 U.S. elections

With more than 99% of the projected calculation, Democrat leads state with less than 1,000 votes ahead of Republican rival. Biden has 2,449,371 votes, against 2,448,454 for the current president. The difference at this time is 0.02 percentage points (49.39% to 49.37%).

A Democrat has not won the presidential election in the state since Bill Clinton. In 2016, Trump defeated Hillary Clinton in the state by 51.05% against 45.89%.

If he wins in Georgia, Biden will have enough votes in the Electoral College to be elected the 46th president of the United States.. The Democrat currently has 264 delegates and, with 16 state votes, would reach 280, ten more than necessary to win the election.

For Trump, the road is more difficult. He has 214 votes in the Electoral College and now he needs to turn around again in Georgia, pass Biden in Nevada and win in North Carolina and Pennsylvania., where you are driving. Thus, the current US president would reach 271, one more than necessary.

See how the voting is in the 5 states where the projections still do not indicate a winner:

• Georgia (99% of projected votes): Biden now leads by 0.02 percentage points (49.39% x 49.37%)
• Nevada (84% of projected votes): Biden leads by 0.9 percentage points (49.4% x 48.5%)
• North Carolina (94% of projected votes): Trump leads by 1.4 percentage points (50.1% x 48.7%)
• Pennsylvania (97% of projected votes): Trump leads by 0.3 percentage points (49.6% x 49.3%)
• Alaska (50% of projected votes): Trump leads by 29 percentage points (62.1% x 33.5%)

An explanation of the change in Georgia (15 votes) it may be the tally of votes sent by mail, especially in the Atlanta area. Trump’s advantage in the state had been decreasing considerably since Wednesday (4), with the advance of the count.

Even if he loses in state, Biden can still reach 270 delegates if he wins in Nevada (6 votes), where it also leads. A Republican turn in the state is still possible, but votes from the Las Vegas and Reno regions are expected to maintain the Democratic lead.

Former Vice President of Barack Obama has also greatly reduced the Republican lead in Pennsylvania (20 votes), the largest state in dispute. The distance, which was 14 percentage points at the beginning of the calculation, is currently only 0.3.

Trump must guarantee victory in the North Carolina (15 votes) and not Alaska (3 votes)But it is not enough for the president to be re-elected.

There are still Arizona (11 votes in the Electoral College). Although the Associated Press and media outlets such as Fox News have already declared Biden’s victory in the state, “The New York Times” and CNN still point to the possibility of Trump’s turn.

If that happens, the current president would reach 225 votes and have more scenarios to be reelected. The Democrat, on the other hand, would drop to 253 votes and would have to win in Georgia and Nevada, thus reaching 275 votes (five more than necessary).

Additionally, President Trump’s campaign called for a vote recount in Wisconsin and attempts to suspend the count in Pennsylvania, Georgia and Michigan. Biden has already been projected as a winner in Wisconsin and Michigan, states where the Republican won in 2016.

When does the count end?

See below when the vote count should end in the still open states, according to the FiveThirtyEight website:

• Pennsylvania (20 votes): The state will accept votes that arrive by mail before this Friday (6) and the deadline for the count is November 23.
• Georgia (16 delegates): The result can come out this Friday.
• North Carolina (15 delegates): the state will accept votes that arrive in the mail before the 12th (Thursday of next week).
