US election results 2020: Joe Biden defeats Donald Trump to win presidency US attorney general says no evidence of widespread voting fraud as Trump continues to make erroneous claims Niko Kommenda, Antonio Voce, Frank Hulley-Jones, Anna Leach and Seán Clarke Thu 3 Dec 2020 09.53 GMTLast modified on Thu 3 Dec 2020 10.27 GMT JOE BIDEN 306 electoral college votes 81,012,489 votes DONALD TRUMP electoral college votes 74,113,538 votes 232 How does the election work? US attorney general says no evidence of widespread voting fraud as Trump continues to make erroneous claims Joe Biden has been elected the 46th president of the United States This election has shown how important independent, fact-based journalism is to a functioning democracy. The race for the presidency is usually decided in a small number of key battleground states that switch party allegiance between elections. Democrats Republicans Arizona 11 electoral college votes Winner called a month ago Est. vote count 100% Candidate Votes Percent Joe Biden 1,672,143 49.4% Donald Trump 1,661,686 49.1% Jo Jorgensen 51,465 1.5% Why does it matter? Arizona last voted Democratic for President in 1996, but the state has become increasingly competitive as the Hispanic share of the electorate has grown. The Democrats managed to gain a number of seats in the 2018 midterms here. Florida 29 electoral college votes Winner called a month ago Est. vote count 100% Candidate Votes Percent Donald Trump 5,668,731 51.2% Joe Biden 5,297,045 47.9% Jo Jorgensen 70,324 0.6% Why does it matter? Florida has voted with the eventual winner in all but one presidential election since 1964. It is also the swing state with the largest population and the most electoral college votes. Georgia 16 electoral college votes Winner called 14 days ago Est. vote count 100% Candidate Votes Percent Joe Biden 2,474,507 49.5% Donald Trump 2,461,837 49.3% Jo Jorgensen 62,138 1.2% Why does it matter? Long a Republican stronghold, southern Georgia has recently become more of a battleground state due to its growing black electorate. In the 2018 governor’s election, Republican Brian Kemp defeated Democrat Stacey Abrams by just 1.4 percentage points. Michigan 16 electoral college votes Winner called a month ago Est. vote count 100% Candidate Votes Percent Joe Biden 2,804,040 50.6% Donald Trump 2,649,852 47.8% Jo Jorgensen 60,381 1.1% Why does it matter? Trump won Michigan by just 0.2 percentage points in 2016 – the narrowest margin of any state. In the six elections prior, the state consistently voted Democratic. More key states Who is controlling Congress? Americans are also electing members to the two chambers of Congress, the main law-making body of the US. Those chambers are the Senate and the House of Representatives. Without support in the Senate and the House, the president's ability to enact key policies is severely limited. SENATE Democrats* 48 +1 Republicans -1 50 * Includes 2 independents HOUSE Democrats 222 -9 Republicans +10 209 Full Senate and House results How does the election work? The winner of the election is determined through a system called the electoral college. Each of the 50 states, plus Washington DC, is given a number of electoral college votes, adding up to a total of 538 votes. More populous states get more electoral college votes than smaller ones. A candidate needs to win 270 electoral college votes (50% plus one) to win the election. In every state except two – Maine and Nebraska – the candidate that gets the most votes wins all of the state’s electoral college votes. Due to these rules, a candidate can win the election without getting the most votes at the national level. This happened at the last election, in which Donald Trump won a majority of electoral college votes although more people voted for Hillary Clinton across the US. How are the results reported? The election results on this page are reported by the Associated Press (AP). AP “call” the winner in a state when they determine that the trailing candidate has no path to victory. This can happen before 100% of votes in a state have been counted. Estimates for the total vote in each state are also provided by AP. The numbers update throughout election night, as more data on voter turnout becomes available.
