Presidential election results 2020

As the presidential election crossed into Wednesday, Joe Biden called on his supporters to be patient as votes continue to be tallied in the fight for the White House. 

“It’s not my place or Donald Trump’s place to declare who has won this election,” Biden said to a crowd of supporters in Wilmington, Delaware.

The Democratic contender went on to say that he was optimistic of the outcome of the election, but it "may take a little longer" to know the results of the race.

Hear Biden speak to the crowd:

President Trump just tweeted that he will be making a statement tonight.

President Trump will win Florida, CNN projects.

There are 29 electoral votes at stake in Florida. It takes 270 electoral votes to win the 2020 presidential election.

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.

Nebraska and Maine are the only two states that apportion some of their electoral votes based on how each congressional district votes. That means that while four of Nebraska's five electoral votes heavily favor the GOP, one of them — awarded to the presidential candidate that wins the Omaha-based 2nd District — is in play. (So is Maine's 2nd district, which is more competitive than the Democratic-leaning state overall.) 

Both the Biden and Trump campaigns have closely watched the two districts, knowing that there are potential outcomes to the race that could leave the candidates nearly tied, struggling to cross the 270 electoral vote threshold. 

The Omaha-based district is the sort of suburban territory that has shifted rapidly in Democrats' favor during Trump's presidency. Republican Don Bacon won a hotly contested congressional race there in 2018 by 2 percentage points, but that was against a challenger more progressive than Democrats nominated in most close races in midterm elections.

Joe Biden will deliver remarks in Wilmington at 12:30 a.m. ET, the campaign tells reporters.
