The news states that Democratic nominee Joe Biden needs only a few more electoral votes to claim victory over President Trump.
Arizona, Alaska, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Georgia and Nevada remain uncalled. In Arizona, Biden's lead narrowed overnight, leaving the Republican incumbent with a small path to victory in the key battleground state.

It states that Joe Biden gained ground on President Trump in Georgia and Pennsylvania, but his lead diminished in Arizona.
