Many races still too close to call

Many races are still too close to call in the presidential election. Currently, former Vice President Joe Biden is leading the race for the White House with 264 electoral votes, according to The Associated Press. President Donald Trump has 214 electoral votes.

The Associated Press has not called the following races: Alaska, Georgia, Nevada, North Carolina and Pennsylvania.

The Associated Press called Arizona in Biden’s favor, although many other news outlets have yet to call the race due to how close it is. Biden is leading Trump by about 69,000 votes in Arizona, according to The Associated Press.
