Fox, MSNBC, NY Times also project Biden win in Michigan

5 November 2020, 12:01 am Edit

Fox News, MSNBC and The New York Times follow CNN’s lead and project a Biden victory in the swing state of Michigan.

Biden is around 67,000 votes ahead in the state, or 1 percent, after extremely high turnout for him among Black Americans in Detroit, The Times reports.

The win gives Biden 253 electoral votes, putting him near the 270 needed to win the presidency.

Biden is favored to win Arizona, with 11 electoral votes, and Nevada, with 6. Georgia and Pennsylvania also hang in the balance, with Trump’s lead in Pennsylvania narrrowing as mail-in ballots are counted.

Trump won Michigan in 2016.
