Biden approaches 80 million votes in historic victory

November 20, 2020

President-elect Joe Biden’s winning tally is approaching a record 80 million votes as Democratic bastions continue to count ballots and the 2020 election cracks turnout records. “Once the noise recedes, it’s going to be clear that Biden won a very convincing victory.”Biden currently has an Electoral College lead of 290-232. But that does not include electors from Georgia, where Biden leads Trump by 0.3 percentage points as officials conduct a hand tally. Back then Trump described it as a “landslide.”Trump sealed that victory with 77,000 votes across three battleground states, while Biden’s margin would be slightly narrower — about 45,000 votes across Arizona, Georgia and Wisconsin. The closest analogy was Obama’s reelection, which he won by virtually the same margin as Biden has now.
