미 대선 현황... 주별 예상 승자
It's been more than 24 hours since the polls closed nationwide in the U.S., but we still don't have a winner yet.
Former Vice President Joe Biden has an apparent lead in electoral college, but it's too close to call.
Our Kim Do-yeon is standing by to give us a breakdown.
That's right Conn-young, we can't project a final winner yet, but here is where the two candidates stand in terms of the electoral college.
Biden at 253 and Trump at 213.
Biden is ahead, but votes are still being counted in different states that could decide the election, so we can't make any confirmations just yet.
Let's quickly see how the numbers tally up.
California and New York, solid states for Biden with 55 and 29 electoral votes, respectively.
New Hampshire, first to vote on election day, goes to Biden.
Trump kept his second home, Florida, by a margin of around three percent... and Texas as well, huge chunks as you can see.
He also kept Ohio, which is a must-win state for a Republican candidate no Republican president got to the White House without this state, and Trump took it comfortably.
Here's is where it really got interesting, Conn-young.
The rust belt area let's see how CNN projected this as of 6 PM Korea Time.
We talked about how these three states are crucial.
Guess what these two states supported Trump in 2016 but Biden ended up flipping them.
That gave him 26 electoral votes.
As you can see, Biden's lead is less than 2 percentage points in either state.
Pennsylvania, still counting... with Trump in the lead, but with the mail-in ballots skewing towards Democrats, we can't be too sure.
Yesterday at this time, Trump had 700,000 more votes on his side, but now it's down to less than 200,000.
Conn-young, we talked about how these three states were Blue Wall prior to Trump's victory in 2016, so Biden could be taking them back.
But, not so quick... because... as you and the experts have discussed... all three states have been sued by President Trump, who is demanding either that they stop the counting or do a recount.
Do-yeon, okay, so we know where they stand in terms of the projected electoral votes... and Biden seems to be in the lead.
What are the remain routes to victory for Donald Trump and Joe Biden?
Conn-young, we can see how close it is for Biden at the moment.
To see the candidates' possible paths to victory, we need to zoom into this region in the west.
Arizona and Nevada.
Two very, very tight races with 17 electoral votes up for grabs.
They've stopped counting, so we won't have the projected winner until later, but if Biden wins these two states and he's ahead in both he gets 270.
In other words, for President Trump to win, he definitely has to win one of the two.
In Arizona, he's down by 60 thousand or so, in Nevada... he's only down by around 8-thousand votes.
Let's look at the whole map to see the bigger picture...
