We’ll be updating this story all night with state results for one of the most chaotic elections in modern American history – check back for the latest.
Electoral vote count: Biden 223, Trump 145
Trump took the first major battleground as the AP called Florida for him at 12:35 a.m. – the Sunshine State was a must-win state for Trump, but Biden’s campaign took pains on Tuesday to stress the Democratic candidate has several paths to victory without it.
Biden was projected to win Minnesota at 12:13 a.m. – a target state for Trump, who lost there by just 1.5 points in 2016 – while Trump was forecast to take Montana and Iowa, reach states for Biden but ones that were possible for him to win on a good night.
