The Presidential Elections of 2020
Updates from November 5th
As of 1:15 AM Central on November 5th, Joe Biden has gotten farther ahead in the race to become the President of the United States of America at 264 electoral seats and 72,077,457 votes at 50.4% against Trump’s 214 static electoral seats and 68,601,159 votes at 48%. With just 6 electoral votes for Biden to win, Trump has started getting massively agitated, getting him to challenge the vote counts in the states of Wisconsin, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Michigan.
There are only 5 states left to confirm their vote counts and decide the fate of the country itself and millions of decisions, both national and international, for the time to come. Amongst some of the tweets seen by our team are ones that worry about the reaction of Republicans regardless of the win – rioting, destruction, market crashes, and practically time pausing across the States.
Reporting for November 4, 2020
As of 12:50AM Central on November 4th, Joe Biden has secured 65,229,347 votes at 49.9% with 224 electoral votes while Trump is at 63,473,619 votes at 48.5% and 213 electoral college votes.
As of 12:10AM Central on the day after Election Day, November 3rd, 2020, Joe Biden is in the lead with 223 (49.8%) of the seats and 63,276,626 votes against Donald Trump’s 212 (48.6%) and 61,630,532 with 270 to win.
Joe Biden of the United States Democratic Party has won in 19 of the 50 states and is the preferred candidate by liberals, while Donald Trump of the Republican Party has won in 23 states and is considered the preferable candidate by conservatives. Besides the leading two candidates, there are also Jo Jorgensen from the Libertarian Party, Howie Hawkins from the Green Party, Brain Carroll representing the American Solidarity Party, Don Blankenship from the Constitution Party, and Roque De La Fuente representing the Alliance Party, but these three do not have a percentage or vote rate high enough for sufficient standing in the presidential run.
