CNN announces victory for Joe Biden in a 16-elect state
CNN announced tonight (Friday) that it expects a victory for President-elect Joe Biden also in the state of Georgia with 16 electors.
This will increase the number of Biden electors to 306.
On the night between Thursday and Friday, television networks estimated that Biden won 11 more electors in the state of Arizona and became the first Democrat to do so since 1996, when former President Bill Clinton was re-elected.
In light of the expected victory, the estimated number of electors then rose to 290.
The gap in that country was less than half a percent.

This is the second time in over seven decades that a Democratic candidate has won the state of Arizona, which is considered a Republican stronghold. According to analyzes by the US Television Authority, Biden's victory in the country was made possible thanks to the voice of Latin voters, an increase in the number of residents in the country who came to it from liberal states like California and Illinois and the change in suburban voting. Biden's victory was secured after winning the votes of nearly 60% of all residents of the swinging Maricopa County.
