However, the former Vice President could snatch Arizona, a once constantly conservative state. The election caps a long and bitter contest. Other key states like Wisconsin, North Carolina, Georgia, Michigan, and Pennsylvania are toss-ups. The final election results might not come for some days as postal votes tallied with the country on edge.

What are the Presidential Results up to now?

Partial results revealed Biden’s solid lead in Arizona. Previously, Fox News forecasted the Biden win in that state. However, the president campaign stated that it was too early to declare any winner in Arizona. A big loss for Trump in that once reliably Republican state will be a possibly serious setback.

On the other side, Texas, another key state, is leaning the way of Trump, according to the projection of CBS News. Whereas Fox News has forecast that Trump will win the Lone Star state. The battlefields in the Rust Belt of Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan look as though they might go either way.

Pennsylvania, as well as Florida, considered a must-win state for Trump if he holds off defeat. Cliffhanger counts are also in progress in two other key states on the East Coast, North Carolina, and Georgia. Nor surprises emerged yet in other states of the country.
