Presidential election results as of 2:05 a.m. EST on Nov. 4. | Florida: Trump clinched the Sunshine State's 29 electoral votes, making key gains with voters of Cuban descent and blowing past his 2016 performance in Miami-Dade County. The state was a must-win for Trump, but former Vice President Joe Biden has other paths to the presidency. See results >> Trump also held onto Ohio, Iowa and Texas. Biden took Minnesota and is currently leading by 11 electoral votes.
SENATE CONTROL AS OF 2:05 AM EST | 
Election results as of 2:05 a.m. EST. on Nov. 4. | Democrats' path to a Senate majority has narrowed dramatically as the party underperformed expectations in a handful of battleground races. They've flipped one seat, but need to gain three or four to win the majority. In Iowa , GOP Sen. Joni Ernst won her reelection bid, defeating Democrat Theresa Greenfield in one of the most expensive and competitive Senate races in the country. See all 2020 results>> | | | Democrats will keep the House, and they are making a push to expand their majority by picking off suburban seats that were once reliably Republican but recoiled against Trump. The Senate and the presidency are still very much up in the air, though. Early on Wednesday, Biden urged his supporters to remain patient as votes continue to trickle in. The election, he said, "ain't over until every vote is counted, every ballot is counted." Trump tweeted later that he, too, would be making remarks and asserted, without evidence, that Democrats "are trying to STEAL the Election." |

We're still waiting on results in crucial swing states like Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. And while Democrats rolled into Tuesday with their best chance at reclaiming the Senate majority since they lost it six years ago, Republicans have a strong chance to keep the chamber — they are clinging to a narrow lead in North Carolina with votes still coming in. Key races in Georgia, Maine and Arizona haven't been called. How to follow along:
