1:00 PM – November 14 Election 2020 Update & Re-Cap

Presidential Race Re-Cap

Every state has been called in the 2020 Presidential Election. Joe Biden won 306 Electoral Votes to Donald Trump’s 232.

President-elect Biden was able to flip numerous states won by President Trump in 2016: Pennsylvania (20 Electoral Votes), Michigan (16 Electoral Votes), Wisconsin (10 Electoral Votes), Arizona (11 Electoral Votes), and Georgia (16 Electoral Votes). Biden also picked up one vote in Nebraska. This amounts to 74 Electoral Votes that flipped from Trump in 2016 to Biden in 2020.

At the time of this writing, Biden leads the popular vote as well: 78.5 million votes (50.9%) to 73 million votes (47.3%).

U.S. Senate Races Re-Cap

All Senate races have been called. The GOP currently holds the balance of power with 50 seats to the Democrats’ 48 seats. However, both of Georgia’s Senate races advanced to a runoff in early January that will determine which party maintains control of the Senate. While the GOP flipped one Senate seat (Alabama), Democrats flipped two (Arizona and Colorado) to give them a +1 net gain in seats.

U.S. House of Representatives Re-Cap

Only 14 House seats have yet to be called. So far, the Democrats officially maintained their majority with 218 seats to the GOP’s 203 seats. Democrats flipped three House seats this year, but Republicans flipped 10 to give them a +7 net gain so far.

Our Election Guide & Results Tracker has been updated to reflect these changes.

12:00 PM – November 11 Presidential, Senate, & House Update

U.S. Presidential Race Update

Alaska and its 3 Electoral Votes were called for Donald Trump, giving him 217 to Joe Biden’s 279 Electoral Votes.

U.S. Senate Update

Yesterday, Democrat Cal Cunningham conceded to North Carolina incumbent GOP Sen. Thom Tillis. This puts the GOP at 49 seats to the Democrats’ 48 seats. In Alaska, GOP incumbent Sen. Dan Sullivan successfully fended off Democratic challenger Al Gross. The GOP now has 50 seats to the Democrats’ 48. Control of the Senate will run through Georgia and the 2 runoff elections for Senate in January.

U.S. House Update

In the House, Democrats will officially maintain their majority, having 218 confirmed seats. Democrats went into Election Day controlling 233 of the 435 House seats, so while they will maintain their majority heading into next session, the GOP appears poised to close the gap and decrease the Democratic majority. Republicans currently have 201 confirmed seats.

Democrats flipped three seats this election, although the GOP flipped 9 seats, giving Republicans a +6 net gain thus far. 16 seats remain to be called.

Senate races in North Carolina and Alaska have yet to be called. Georgia’s two Senate races are headed for a January runoff election. The runoff elections will determine which party controls the Senate.

24 U.S. House races have yet to be called. Democrats have 215 seats, 3 away from the 218 needed to maintain their majority. Republicans have 196 seats. While Democrats flipped 3 seats, the GOP has flipped 8, leaving Republicans with a +5 net gain.
