The current president, Donald Trump, is gaining 232 votes.

In Georgia, Biden won with 49.5% of the vote against Trump’s 49.2%. The Democrat got 14,172 more votes. Biden’s victory in Georgia is truly unique – the last time a Democrat won in the state was in 1992.
At the same time, Trump won North Carolina with 50%, ahead of his rival by 73,698. Biden in North Carolina was supported by 48.6% of the voters.

Biden will take office as the 46th president of the United States on January 20, 2021. The presidential transfer center is already asking Trump to initiate this process.
However, the current president of the United States still opposes the results of the presidential elections. Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani said «mass trials nationwide. “In particular, Republicans filed lawsuits in Michigan, Arizona and Pennsylvania, where, according to Trump, tens of thousands of votes were falsified.
On November 13, it emerged that the law firm refused to represent Trump’s campaign in Pennsylvania, and in Arizona, his campaign company withdrew a lawsuit to review all ballots.
