Today so far...
- Joe Biden said he and Kamala Harris were “on track” to win the election, delivering remarks in Wilmington Delaware. Indeed, Biden’s lead over Donald Trump in Pennsylvania and Nevada has been growing. In Arizona, Biden’s lead has been shrinking as more votes are counted, but Trump has so far not been winning a large enough share of the mail-in votes to overtake his Democratic challenger.
- Biden urged calm while the US awaits election results. “I know watching these vote tallies can be very slow,” he said. “It can be numbing” to watch. But those numbers represent voters, he added, and their voice should be heard.
- Georgia is planning to hold a recount to settle the virtual tie between Biden and Trump. Biden is leading by just over 1,500 votes. The state will also hold two runoffs to decide who will fill the state’s two senate seats. Incumbent Republican senator David Perdue will face off against Democrat Jon Ossoff and incumbent Republican senator Kelly Loeffler will face off against Democrat Raphael Warnock on 5 January.
- The White House chief of staff Mark Meadows has tested positive for Covid-19. As many as four other staff have also tested positive, per reports. Meadows attended indoor events on election day and did not use a face mask to protect himself and others from contracting the virus.
- The United States once again broke its record for the highest number of new Covid-19 infections in a single day. More than 121,000 new cases were recorded Friday.
