The results have begun to arrive from the presidential elections of the United States.
The states of Kentucky and Indiana were the first to close polling stations. These are solid Republican states and give Trump an edge early on.
Now the result is also coming from other places, according to the New York Times, AP, Fox News, CNN.
The presidential election is about reaching 270 voters. Whoever succeeds will be the next president of the United States.
Right now it seems that:
- Joe Biden has 91 voters
- Donald Trump has 82 voters
We know this (number of voters in parentheses):
- Donald Trump vinner Indiana (11), Kentucky (8), Mississippi (6), Missouri (10), Oklahoma (7), South Carolina (9), Tennessee (11), West Virginia (5), Arkansas (9) og Alabama (9)
- Joe Biden is named winner in Connecticut (7), Delaware (3), Illinois (20), Maine (3 of 4), Maryland (10), Massachusetts (11), New Jersey (14), Vermont (3), Virginia (13), Washington, DC (3) and Rhode Island (4)
The VG overview is updated by DPA and therefore may be somewhat later:
Waiting for Florida
This is in line with expectations and is identical to how these states voted four years ago.
“It looks great to us across the country,” President Trump wrote on Twitter shortly after midnight.
The first big moment of tension is Florida, where results are expected soon. Donald Trump will likely depend on winning this state for the second time in a row.
We are also waiting for the other tip statuses. After all, it is these who will decide the presidential elections.
Florida follows Trump’s path
The New York Times has rejected the speedometer for this year’s election, instead selecting three states where the speedometer shows who is likely to win.
Here, Times experts take into account which districts the numbers come from, not just who the votes go to, to weigh this against historical information.
The speedometer shows at 02.17 that Trump with more than 95 percent probability wins Florida, after 89 percent of the vote is registered.
Buzzfeed declares Trump the winner in Florida.
CNN’s tally shows that both candidates received more than five million votes, which is more than Trump received when he won Florida in 2016. Trump received 4,617,886 votes in 2016.
The bite can intercept the bending state.
The New York Times speedometer kept Joe Biden the favorite in North Carolina at a young age, but at 02.28 it was Trump who was listed as the favorite here with a 58 percent chance. At that time, about 60 percent of the votes were reported.
Georgia, the third state with its own speedometer, has changed its status from “coin toss” to “probably Trump,” with an 84 percent chance after 17 percent of the vote was counted.
If Biden stays with North Carolina, this will be a very positive step for his chances of winning. If Trump retains North Carolina, the chances of winning are still very much present for Biden.
If Biden wins Michigan and Wisconsin, where polls tipped heavily in his favor before the election, he doesn’t need to win more than one or two of the auspicious states of Pennsylvania, Georgia, Ohio, North Carolina or Texas.
Here are preliminary results on some tip states:
- Biden leads at 02.42, according to the New York Times, with 55.3 percent to 43.5 for Trump in Ohio when 49 percent of the vote is reported.
- Trump leads with 56.3 percent against Biden’s 42.7 in Georgia with 23 percent counted.
- At 2:48 a.m., Biden received 50.8 percent of the vote, compared with Trump’s 47.8 percent in Texas, when 62 percent of the vote was reported.
