Election result in the US election: In Wisconsin, Michigan and Arizona, Biden wins the narrowest of victories

Wisconsin (10 electors): Biden won the hard-fought key state with a wafer-thin majority of currently 20,500 votes. Trump wants to challenge the election results in the state of Wisconsin. The US President also called for an immediate recount of the votes. There were reports of irregularities in several counties in Wisconsin, Trump said, without giving examples or evidence.

Michigan (16 voters): Biden was also able to win the “Swing State” Michigan. After catching up, Biden has passed Trump here and is currently winning the state with 50.5 percent. Trump was able to unite only 47.9 percent of the votes. That makes around 148,400 more votes for Biden.

Arizona (11 electors): In the state of Arizona, Biden also narrowly won – with a lead of currently around 11,400 votes. Biden got 49.4 percent of all votes, Trump 49.1 percent.

Swing states crucial for election result

It was clear even before the election: The swing states determine the outcome of the election. Here it can depend on a few votes, the impact of which can be central to the final result in the state – and thus also to the overall result. After all, whoever gets the most votes at national level does not become president, but whoever gets the most votes from the 538 electors from the individual states.

The majority – and thus the election victory – is won by the candidate who can unite 270 voters. So far, Biden has had 279 electoral votes – and has thus officially won the US election. But his victory could be even higher. A total of 42 electoral votes are still up for grabs (11 in Arizona, 16 in Georgia and 15 in North Carolina).

Election result: The House of Representatives and Senate are also newly elected – the numbers at a glance

At the same time as the presidential election in the USA, all members of the House of Representatives were elected and the election for the US Senate also took place. A total of 435 members are elected to the House of Representatives. They each represent a constituency. A majority consists of 218 seats or more.

After the last election, the Democrats held the majority with 232 seats. The Republicans got 198 seats, one representative was independent, four seats remained vacant.

The Democrats currently have the majority with 219 seats and the Republicans have 203 seats. 13 seats are still open. However, the Democrats already have the number of seats required for a majority.

Part of the Senate will also be newly elected. A third of the senators are re-elected every two years – so 35 of the 100 Senate seats are up for grabs (each state has two senators). So far, the Democrats have provided 47 senators and the Republicans have 53 Senate seats. A majority consists of 51 seats or more.

Of the 35 mandates that will be newly awarded, 23 are in Republican and 12 in Democratic hands. In order to gain a majority in the Senate, the Democrats would have to retain their 12 seats and win an additional four seats. The Democrats currently have 48 seats and the Republicans 50 seats.
