Biden leads US presidential race with 253 electoral votes

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden is leading the race with 253 electoral votes.

US President Donald Trump has 213 electoral votes.

Votes are still being counted in several key states, which could determine the outcome of the presidential race between Trump and Biden.

We are still awaiting results in Alaska, Arizona, Georgia, North Carolina, Nevada and Pennsylvania.

Each candidate needs 270 electoral college votes to win the presidency.

Meanwhile fake Twitter accounts impersonating the Associated Press sowed disinformation online by attempting to call election results prematurely, prompting national security officials to issue warnings about the behavior.

Screenshots of one of the accounts showed impostors appearing to call Michigan for Joe Biden.

CNN was unable to independently view the impersonator accounts before Twitter removed them from their platform.

The Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency said it has witnessed multiple reports of social media accounts pretending to be legitimate news outlets calling election results, and that it had anticipated the tactic.

CNN's John King says if Biden wins Arizona and Nevada, he wins the election.

Nevada and Arizona are not called but Joe Biden is leading and if Biden protects the lead in Nevada and Arizona, he gets to 270 electoral votes even if he doesn't win the commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

Arizona still has more than 600,000 ballots remaining to be counted.

Biden currently leads Trump by about 93,000 votes statewide, 51% to 47.6%, according to CNN’s latest count.

According to informal estimates, Trump would need to win approximately 58% of the outstanding vote to overcome Biden’s lead.
