2020 Presidential election coverage

Saturday, Nov. 7

9:17 a.m.

President elect Joseph R. Biden has secured victory in the state of Nevada, taking him well over the required threshold of Electoral College votes to secure the presidency.

With a total of 290 Electoral College votes and 50.6% of the popular vote, Biden has comfortably secured the presidency.

8:31 a.m.

Former Vice President Joseph R. Biden has been elected as 46th president of the United States. Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris led the election against incumbent Donald J. Trump and Mike Pence by 70 Electoral College votes after securing victory in the state of Pennsylvania.

Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris had been the projected winners for weeks as they had been leading in the polls by double digits, according to the Associated Press.

“I am honored and humbled by the trust the American people have put in me and vice president elect Kamala Harris,” Biden said. “It’s time for America to unite and to heal. We are the United State  of America and there’s nothing we can’t do when we do it together.”

Harris also made a statement following the news of her nomination.

“This election is about so much more than Joe Biden or me. It’s about the soul of America and our willingness to fight for it,” Harris said. “We have a lot of work ahead of us. Let’s get started.”

Friday, Nov. 6

8:10 p.m.

President Donald J. Trump’s chief of staff Mark Meadows has tested positive for coronavirus, according to White House officials.

Meadows has interacted with the president and several campaign officials over the past few days.

It is unclear if anyone who he has interacted with will need to quarantine or go into self-isolation.

According to Jake Tapper of CNN, more than 125,000 tested positive for COVID-19 today, the single-worst day of the pandemic thus far.

8:02 p.m.

Former Vice President and Democratic candidate Joseph R. Biden addressed a crowd in Wilmington, Delaware, with confidence that he is going to be named the 46th President of the United States.

“We are going to win this race,” Biden said.

One of the most tightly contested races in the election, the victory in the state of Georgia has come down to the difference between less than 5,000 votes between Biden and President Donald J. Trump.

“We are going to win that state,” Biden said.

After securing a lead in Pennsylvania, once dominated by Trump, Biden said he is confident he will secure victory in that state as well.

“More Americans chose change over more of the same,” Biden said. “They made it clear that they want the country to come together, not continue to pull apart.

Biden focused on the issues he will focus on once he is named president, including addressing the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and the resulting economic depression.

“While we’re waiting for our results, we’re not waiting to start the work,” Biden said. “We have serious problems to deal with, COVID, the economy, racial justice, climate change.”

The vice president again urged his supporters to exercise patience in the calling of the presidential race.

“Democracy works, your vote will be counted. I don’t care how hard people try to stop it, I won’t let it happen,” Biden said.

He maintained that as president he will work to address the problems of the country, including divisions sewn over the past four years.

“We have to remember the purpose of our politics is not total and unrelenting warfare, the purpose of our politics is not to fan the flame of conflict. We may be opponents, but we are not enemies,” Biden said. “It’s time for us to come together as a nation to heal, it’s not going to be easy but we have to try.”

Biden closed with a message of hope and encouragement as the nation awaits a final election result now four days after Election Day.

“This is the United States of America and there’s never been anything we’ve been unable to do when we’ve done it together,” Biden said.

7:44 p.m.

Rich Fitzgerald, Executive of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, said there is one final batch of votes to be counted in the state.

Currently in the lead with 49.6% of the vote, Democratic candidate Joseph R. Biden is in position to take the state, and ultimately the presidency.

Ballot counters will resume tomorrow morning, according to Fitzgerald, to complete counting of all valid ballots.

12:07 p.m.

Secretary of State for Georgia Brad Raffensperger confirmed Friday afternoon that the election will end with a recount.

“The people of Georgia deserve transparency,” Raffensperger said.

Former Vice President Joseph R. Biden continues to lead the polls in Georgia by a small threshold of just under 2,000 votes. President Donald J. Trump must be able to secure victory in the state if he hopes to be reelected.

10:36 a.m.

President Donald J. Trump released a statement vowing to pursue all avenues in the case that former Vice President Joseph R. Biden were to win the presidency, including but not limited to legal action before the Supreme Court.

This is now the third time that Trump has made a statement promising legal action and refusal to concede.

9:49 a.m.

Lisa Deely, chairwoman of Philadelphia city commissioners, said in a press conference that there are 40,000 ballots that are remaining to be counted.

She reminded the crowd that an election may not be confirmed until 20 days after the election.

Former Vice President and Democratic candidate Joseph R. Biden is currently leading in the state of Pennsylvania, leading President Donald J. Trump by almost 10,000 votes. Up until this morning, the lead had been held by Trump.

Although in the lead, Biden’s margin is not large enough to secure a definitive victory and a recount can be expected. The process of recounting is currently underway in the state of Georgia as Biden leads by just under 2,000 votes over Trump.

Philadelphia City Commissioner Omar Sabir thanked the people of Philadelphia for their patience and assured them that all votes will be counted, and counted correctly.

“Democracy has won, democracy is beautiful,” Sabir said.

If Biden is able to secure victory in the state, he will be named 46th President of the United States.

6:59 a.m.

A memo released from Fox News correspondents, according to CNN correspondents, said that no one on the network is to referent to former Vice President Joseph R. Biden as the president elect in the case that he claims victory in the Electoral College.

The memo cited the pending lawsuits Trump has in several states challenging the legitimacy of mail-in ballots, lawsuits of which have continued to fail time after time in court.

Abby Phillip, CNN correspondent, accused Fox News of being an “arm of the Trump campaign.”

6:47 a.m.

President Donald J. Trump campaign general counsel Matt Morgan said that the president has no intentions of conceding in the case that former Vice President Joseph R. Biden wins the presidency.

“This election is not over. The false projection of Joe Biden as the winner is based on results in four states that are far from final,” Matt Morgan said in a statement released Friday morning. 

Based upon current predictions, Trump has no pathway to reelection.

Biden has benefited from the political phenomenon known as the “blue-wave,” or an influx of Democratic votes from mail-in ballots. For months Trump has questioned the validity of mail-in ballots, twice claiming since Tuesday that they are not legitimate votes and shouldn’t be counted.

“Biden is relying on these states for his phony claim on the White House, but once the election is final, President Trump will be re-elected,” Morgan said.

6:37 a.m.

Former Vice President Joseph R. Biden has taken the lead in the state of Pennsylvania with 49.5% of the vote project in his favor.

President Donald J. Trump had had a strong hold on the state for much of the election, but with Biden’s ability to surpass him in the polls, it’s unclear how the president will be reelected.

Biden currently leads the polls by over 5,000 votes, leaving a large margin that Trump is unlikely to be able to close.

1:31 a.m.

According to county officials, former Vice President Joseph R. Biden has taken the lead in the state of Georgia, as reported by CNN.

This new development puts Biden ahead of President Donald J. Trump by nearly 1,000 votes.

Thousands of votes need to be counted still, however, meaning Biden cannot yet claim victory in the state. This is the first time since the votes began to be counted Tuesday, however, that the state is being lead by Biden rather than Trump.

If Biden were to secure the victory in Georgia, it would prevent Trump from being reelected and place the Democratic candidate at 269 Electoral College votes. Biden would only need to secure one more state to be elected as president.

12:45 a.m.

There are now less than 500 votes between President Donald J. Trump and former Vice President Joseph R. Biden in the state of Georgia, according to CNN.

Clayton County, one of the last counties in the state that is still completing ballots, has consistently been left-leaning as final ballots are counted.

Thursday, Nov. 5

11:43 p.m.

Less than 700 votes separate President Donald J. Trump and former Vice President Joseph R. Biden in the state of Georgia, according to CNN.

From Clayton County, an area in the state which is mainly Democratic, the remaining votes are expected to push Biden over the threshold to clench victory.

Depending on how much of a lead Biden is able to attain, however, a recount may be called for. A candidate must have over 0.5% of the vote over their opponent to warrant a recount in Georgia. As the numbers sit now, the Trump campaign will likely be in position to call for a recount.

8:20 p.m.

President Donald J. Trump and former Vice President Joseph R. Biden remain tied at 49.4% of the vote in Georgia.

Trump is now ahead in Georgia by just 1,775 votes, according to the Associated Press.

In Pennsylvania, Trump is leading with just 26,132 votes, with a 0.4% margin.

7:05 p.m.

President Donald J. Trump and former Vice President Joseph R. Biden remain tied at 49.4% of the vote in Georgia.

Trump’s narrow lead is only getting slimmer, now at 1,902 votes, according to the Associated Press.

The president’s lead in Pennsylvania is also razor-thin at just 0.6% of the vote. Biden remains in the lead in Nevada, with 0.9%.

6:03 p.m.

President Donald J. Trump and former Vice President Joseph R. Biden are now tied at 49.4% of the vote in the state of Georgia, according to the Associated Press.

Although Trump maintains his lead of 2,497 votes, the incoming ballots being counted are overwhelmingly in Biden’s favor, according to the NBC.

4:09 p.m.

President Donald J. Trump gave an address at the White House Wednesday evening to “update the American people with an update on our efforts to protect the integrity of the very important 2020 election.”

Trump, again, claimed victory of the presidential election, citing “legal votes” leaning in his favor. He went on again to accuse Democratic votes to be illegitimate votes.

“If you count the legal votes, I easily win,” Trump said. “If you count the illegal votes, they can try to steal the election from us, if you count the votes that came in late, we’ll look into them very strongly.”

The president celebrated his victories among voters of color and women. He accused the Democratic Party of being run by the media and “big tech.”

He accused media polling to be “election interference,” calling them “phony,” “fake” and “suppression polls.”

“Their phony polls were designed to keep our voters at home, create the illusion of momentum for Mr. Biden and diminish Republicans’ ability to raise funds,” Trump said. “It’s never been used to the extent that it’s been used in this last election.”

Trump accused the Democratic Party of tampering with ballot counting, saying that “our numbers started miraculously getting whittled away” as more mail-in ballots began to be counted.

“They want to find out how many votes they need and then they seem to be able to find them,” Trump said. “It’s amazing how those mail-in ballots are so one-sided.”

The president went on to falsely claim victory in the state of Pennsylvania. He also falsely claimed that Republican observers were not permitted in ballot counting centers, a legal requirement for election proceedings.

“In every case they got whittled down,” Trump said. “They’re trying to rig an election.”

Trump said he is confident that he will be named the victor in the state of Arizona.

“Our goal is to defend the integrity of the election, we will not allow the corruption to steal such an important election, or any election for that matter,” Trump said. “We can’t allow silence, anybody to silence their voters and manufacture results.”

Trump continues to sue states to “stop the count,” something which seems to contradict the statements he made during this address.

He then went on to accuse the system of mail-in ballots, a system which has existed for years, to be part of the “corrupt Democratic machine.” Trump maintained his position that only votes received on Election Day should be counted, despite many states having laws allowing ballots that are postmarked as of Nov. 3 to be counted up to 10 days post-election.

Other ballots submitted, such as absentee ballots and overseas ballots, may be counted for up to weeks after Election Day.

“I challenge Joe and every Democrat to clarify that they only want legal votes,” Trump said. “We want an honest election, we want an honest count.”

Trump promised to pursue further litigation in the case that he loses the election, reenforcing his statements from Wednesday morning that he is considering taking the issue to the Supreme Court.

“We can’t be disgraced by having something like this happen,” Trump said. “We think we will the election very easily.”

2:33 p.m.

Kathy Boockvar, secretary of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, assured American voters that the counting of ballots is legitimate.

“It really is incredibly safe and secure,” Boockvar said.

She maintains that the way the state is processing ballots is no different this election than any years in the past.

“It is very close in Pennsylvania, there’s no doubt about it,” Boockvar said.

According to Boockvar, there are several hundred thousand ballots that remain to be counted.

“The closer the race is, the longer it takes,” Boockvar said.

Currently, President Donald J. Trump holds the majority of votes in the state with 50.1% of the vote. Former Vice President and Democratic Joseph R. Biden trails behind at 48.7%.

To secure reelection, Trump must be named victor of the state.

“I still think we’re ahead of schedule,” she said. “Because it’s a close race, it’s not quite clear who the winner is.”

Boockvar said that the majority of the votes will be counted by Friday.

1:28 p.m.

Former Vice President and Democratic candidate Joseph R. Biden addressed the American voters from Delaware and said that they need to “keep calm.”

“Democracy is sometimes messy, and it requires some patience as well,” Biden said.

Biden said that he wants every single vote to be counted, “as it should be.” He maintained that voters should retain their faith in American democracy.

The candidate is confident that once all votes are counted, he and Kamala Harris will secure the victory in the presidential race.

12:07 p.m.

Gabriel Sterling, Georgia voting system implementation manager, said the state has just under 50,000 more ballots to count in the state.

Currently, President Donald J. Trump holds the lead in the state with 49.5% of the vote,  with 99% of the state’s votes counted. Former Vice President and Democratic candidate Joseph R. Biden trails just behind at 49.3%.

Georgia is the closest race in the presidential election with only a 0.2% difference between the candidates. If Biden is able to pull forward, he will secure the presidency with 280 Electoral College votes.

If Trump is able to maintain his leadership, the victory in Georgia will propel him to 230 Electoral College votes. The president would need to secure victory in North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Alaska, as well as Nevada, where Biden is currently leading, to be reelected.

10:55 a.m.

President Donald J. Trump’s lawsuit against the state of Michigan has been rejected by a judge, according to Al Jazeera.

This was one of three lawsuits the president’s campaign had brought against states where they believed there to be illegitimacy among mail-in ballots.

The Associated Press awarded the victory of Michigan to former Vice President and Democratic candidate Joseph R. Biden yesterday afternoon. Of the 99% reported votes in the state, Biden secured 50.6% over Trump’s 47.9%.

9:44 a.m.

A judge has dismissed the lawsuit brought against the state of Georgia by President Donald J. Trump, according to Al Jazeera.

Trump’s campaign has filed two other lawsuits alleging that mail-in ballots were accepted past the legal deadline.

Former Vice President Joseph R. Biden trails behind Trump by just 0.3% in Georgia. The race has been close over the past two days, with at one point Biden having the lead.

Biden has retained his narrow lead in the popular vote with 50.4% versus Trump’s 48%.

8:06 a.m.

There has still been no decision made in the presidential election.

President Donald J. Trump and his supporters have been advocating for votes to stop being counted, alleging that mail-in ballots may pose a potential threat to the “legitimacy” of the election.

Armed supporters swarmed a ballot-counting location last night in Maricopa County, Arizona.

In all states where supporters and the president himself are calling for votes to be stopped, former Vice President Joseph R. Biden would be considered the winner.

Wednesday, Nov. 4

8:20 p.m.

President Donald J. Trump’s campaign is considering taking legal action against the states Nevada and Arizona as current polls show former Vice President Joseph R. Biden leading by a narrow margin in these states.

Similarly to Michigan, Georgia and Pennsylvania, the Trump campaign is concerned with the validity of mail-in ballots, according to CNN.

4:40 p.m.

President Donald J. Trump’s campaign has filed a lawsuit against the state of Georgia, according to CNN, calling for a reexamination of mail-in ballots.

This is now the third state he has filed against to challenge the validity of mail-in voting, after Michigan and Pennsylvania.

3:00 p.m.

Former Vice President and Democratic candidate Joseph R. Biden has secured victory in Michigan, bringing his total to 264 Electoral College votes, according to the Associated Press.

12:13 p.m.

The Donald J. Trump campaign has filed a lawsuit against the state of Michigan to stop ballots from being counted until “meaningful access” to ballot opening processes can be provided.

According to the Associated Press, Former Vice President and Democratic candidate Joseph R. Biden is currently leading the state by 0.9%.

8:11 a.m.

No decision has been made in the presidential race as millions of early and mail-in ballots are still being counted, despite President Donald J. Trump’s protest late last night.

“We want law to be used in a proper manner, so we will be going to the U.S. Supreme Court, we want all voting to stop,” Trump said to a crowd in the East Room of the White House. He promised his administration would be going to the Supreme Court today to file a motion to stop votes from being counted.

According to all major news outlets, votes are still being counted despite his concerns.

Trump accused states where the total between him and Former Vice President and Democratic candidate Joseph R. Biden were close of potentially using these other forms of voting to sway the election away from him.

Since his announcement last night, several of his tweets have been flagged as disinformation by Twitter. Most make accusations of voter fraud in states where the race is close, like Georgia and North Carolina.

Biden is currently in the lead as he retained 238 Electoral College votes over night and maintains his stance as victor of the popular vote with 50.1% of the country’s support.

Trump, however, is poised to take Pennsylvania, a critical swing state that could give him the votes he needs to be reelected as he leads with 54%.

12:22 a.m.

Former Vice President and Democratic candidate Joseph R. Biden continues to lead the presidential election with 238 Electoral College votes after claiming victory in Maine and Arizona, a state President Donald J. Trump claimed was “stolen” during his address from the East Room of the White House.

Trump continues to trail behind Biden in Electoral College and popular votes.

Tuesday, Nov. 3

11:40 p.m.

Benjamin Ginsberg, Republican election lawyer, said the President Donald J. Trump has no legal standing to “stop” voting as he just claimed he would during an address in the East Room of the White House.

Ginsberg said that it is highly unlikely that any court in the country, let alone the Supreme Court, would hear the case, nor rule in favor of the president.

Ballots submitted, either through early voting or by mail, are still considered legally submitted votes, whether or not the president chooses to recognize them, Ginsberg said.

Ginsberg said this move by the president is an attempt to “disenfranchise” American voters and is “distressing to see.”

“Not only is it unprecedented,” Ginsberg said. “But it’s a disservice to the men and women who have cast their ballots.”

11:21 p.m.

President Donald J. Trump addressed a crowd in the East Room of the White House Tuesday night promising that his administration will be going to the Supreme Court to stop “voting” at midnight.

“We don’t want them to find any ballots at four o’clock in the morning and add them to the list,” Trump said.

He thanked those who voted for him for their support and went on to accuse a “very sad group of people” for trying to disenfranchise those who voted for Trump.

“We want law to be used in a proper manner, so we will be going to the U.S. Supreme Court, we want all voting to stop,” Trump said.

Trump celebrated his victory of the state of Florida, by which he claimed he won by a “landslide.” According to the Associated Press, as of 11:24 p.m. Trump has only a little more than 3% of votes over Former Vice President and Democratic candidate Joseph R. Biden.

“We were getting ready for a big celebration…then all of the sudden it was all cut off,” Trump said.

He then celebrated the lead he currently holds in the state of Pennsylvania, the state that is considered the final battleground to determine who will win the presidential race.

Trump was impressed by his overall numbers, especially in Michigan and Wisconsin.

“We don’t need all of them,” Trump said in reference to the remaining states where Biden appears to have the lead.

Vice President Mike Pence then went on to thank their supporters and claimed victory of the presidency despite millions of ballots remaining uncounted.
