Here’s where the race to 270 stands
Joe Biden’s lead continues to grow in Pennsylvania.
CNN has yet to project a winner in Pennsylvania. If Biden wins Pennsylvania’s 20 electoral votes, he will reach the 270 needed to win the presidency.
CNN has also yet to project a winner in the key states of Georgia, Nevada and Arizona. Biden is currently leading Trump in these states, but votes are still being counted.
Biden currently holds 253 electoral votes, while Trump has 213.
Ballot counting continued Friday in Gwinnett County, Georgia, where there are roughly 1,500 votes left to tabulate, according to county spokesperson Joe Sorenson.
“A total of 535 absentee by mail ballots that required a signature cure and three military/overseas ballots will be counted tomorrow after Dominion technicians make the system adjustments needed to complete the count,” Sorenson said in a statement. “Additionally, 965 provisional ballots will have to be reviewed by the Gwinnett County Board of Voter Registrations and Elections to determine their eligibility to be tabulated.”
The Board of Voter Registrations and Elections is scheduled to review the provisional ballots on Nov. 9.
White House chief of staff tests positive for coronavirus
White House chief of staff Mark Meadows has tested positive for coronavirus, two officials confirm to CNN.
Bloomberg first reported the story.
Meadows traveled with the President on Sunday and Monday. He was also at the White House election night party on Tuesday and in close contact with members of the President’s family.
White House officials are now alarmed given Meadows has been around other staffers while potentially contagious, one aide says. The White House had invited people to watch the results roll in that night.
At the time, White House communications director Alyssa Farah said there would be temperature checks and precautions taken given the pandemic. Initial plans to hold an event at the Trump Hotel were scrapped because of local restrictions on indoor gatherings and fear there would be significant fines.
The President delivered remarks from the White House press briefing room last night.
