As of November 5, at the national level, Biden has surpassed Trump by more than 3,1 million votes. Analysts expect the gap is likely to widen.

If they are right, Democrats will win the popular vote in 7 of the last 8 presidential elections (1992, 1996, 2000, 2008, 2012, 2016, 2020), even though they did not lead the White House during the three presidential terms that fell over those years.

Biden's record in 2020 was made possible, most likely due to the record voter turnout that is predicted in many states. However, the official turnout data will become available after the announcement of the results.

What happens on November 5

Counting in several key states dragged on, and Trump's team began to protest the results. RBC... As of 6:00 AM ET:

  • The outcome of the presidential race is still uncertain. Counting has not been completed in a number of states, where the outcome of the campaign still does not guarantee victory for either candidate.
  • Joe Biden took over the lead in Michigan and Wisconsin. The situation remains controversial in four states: Pennsylvania, Nevada, North Carolina and Georgia. Arizona is also in doubt, where the count is also incomplete, and the gap between candidates is narrowing.
  • Until now, all the ballots that voters sent by mail have not been taken into account. The Alaska Election Commission said they would count them within a week, while Pennsylvania warned that the count could drag on until November 6. In Nevada, the counting was stopped altogether, having announced that they would resume it a day later.
  • Trump's headquarters have filed a lawsuit to stop the counting of votes in Michigan and Pennsylvania. The president's team claims that his representatives were not allowed to observe the counting at some sites in the faltering states. Trump's lawyer Rudy Giuliani flew to Pennsylvania's largest city, Philadelphia, reporting massive violations.
  • The incumbent's headquarters is preparing to challenge the results in Wisconsin. Also on the website of the Supreme Court of the state appeared a lawsuit by Republicans regarding the vote by mail.
  • CNN also announced the intention of Trump's representatives to file lawsuits in the courts of Arizona and Nevada. In the event of a loss, they also allowed a recount in Georgia, where the gap between candidates narrowed to 0,5%.
  • In two Arizona counties, Trump supporters went to local electoral offices demanding "the stolen votes be returned" and people allowed to observe the counting, NBC reported.
  • Trump spokeswoman Kayleigh McKinani told Fox News that the incumbent's headquarters expects to receive 270 electoral votes through victories in Pennsylvania, Georgia and Arizona, where the count is still pending. At the same time, she questioned the fairness of calculations in cities controlled by Democrats, and recalled that in 2012, in some areas of Philadelphia, Republicans received 0% as a result of elections. According to her, the lawsuit filed is connected with this.
  • According to the Detroit Free Press, an investigation has already begun in Antrim County in Michigan, where Trump initially led but then lost. The voting results there were temporarily canceled.
  • Donald Trump tweeted about a "very strange" change of leader in states ruled by Democrats.
  • In terms of the total number of votes cast for each of the candidates, Biden is in the lead.
