Joe Biden victory in sight
Former Vice President Joe Biden has positioned himself for a win in the 2020 presidential election with 253 electoral votes to President Donald Trump’s 213.
Trump’s lead in Pennsylvania, which could deliver Biden the White House, has been narrowing since Tuesday.
But Biden could also get to 270 electoral votes with wins in Nevada and Arizona, where he holds a lead as of Thursday night.
Biden also leads in Georgia, where a Democrat hasn’t won in a presidential race since Bill Clinton in 1992.
Trump’s path to reelection requires a win in Pennsylvania.
Elise Stefanik holds onto House seat
Representative Elise Stefanik won a fourth term in the House of Representatives over Democratic challenger Tedra Cobb Tuesday.
Stefanik pulled more than $11 million dollars in donations for her fourth campaign in New York’s 21st congressional district, a benefit of her rising star as a staunch supporter of President Donald Trump, especially during his impeachment hearings.
Despite being thought of as a tighter race potentially, Stefanik is poised to beat Cobb by a wider margin than their 2018 contest, where Stefanik won 56% of the vote.

Chris Rosenquest beat current Mayor Colin Read in the Democratic primary in June.
Rosenquest expects the absentee votes to favor him.
