The presidential election is inching closer and closer to a conclusion.
- As of Friday night, Joe Biden is projected to win 253 electoral votes, 17 short of the 270 to win. He has made significant progress against President Trump in two key states.
- Biden leads in Pennsylvania. The state, which has 20 electoral votes, would put Biden over the top.
- Biden also has opened a slim lead in Georgia, which has 16 electoral votes.
- The former vice president expanded his lead in Nevada, too, while his lead in Arizona has grown smaller.
- Biden has urged patience as the count continues, while Trump has made baseless claims of voter fraud and his campaign has mounted several legal challenges.
