Presidential election results 2020

Speaking in Wilmington, Delaware, Democratic nominee Joe Biden projected confidence, saying he was "feeling good," but urged patience as the votes continued to be counted in several key states across the country.

The former vice president then suggested he had not expected an early result, and asked his supporters to wait patiently as states continue to count and report their votes.

"We knew, because of the unprecedented early vote and the mail-in vote, it was gonna take a while," Biden continued. "We're going to have to be patient until... the hard work of tallying votes is finished, and it ain't over until every vote is counted, everybody ballot is counted."

President Trump will win Florida, CNN projects.

Who won in 2016: President Trump carried the Sunshine State and won the general election.

CNN's John King is at the magic wall:

Minnesota is one of a small number of states that Hillary Clinton won in 2016 where President Donald Trump's campaign made a serious play. (The others are Nevada and New Hampshire.) 

Trump's near-win there in 2016 buoyed Republicans' hopes that it would follow Wisconsin, where the GOP's margins of victory among White working-class voters were enough to overcome Democrats' performance in cities and suburbs. His campaign hoped that White suburban backlash would follow racial injustice protests over the Minneapolis police killing of George Floyd this summer. 

That didn't pan out — CNN projected that Biden would win the state.

There are 10 electoral votes at stake in Minnesota. It takes 270 electoral votes to win the 2020 presidential election.

Who won in 2016: Former Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton carried the state, and President Trump won the general election.

The Biden campaign has long said their easiest path to the nomination hinges on the "blue wall" – Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania – and that is still a belief that stands tonight.

Even as the race remains tight in Florida, the campaign has insisted they do not need it to win. Despite making a last minute trip to Ohio yesterday, the campaign had not indicated it was a necessary part of their path but more of an added benefit if they could pull it off.

Two advisers tonight have also expressed optimism in Arizona, pointing to Latino support in the state – where a win could help their path to the presidency.

Despite not having early calls in these battleground states, advisers still remain hopeful about his standing.
