Trump wins battlegrounds Florida, Texas; Biden takes New Hampshire, Minnesota

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump has won Florida and Ohio, NBC News projects, while Joe Biden picked up Minnesota and New Hampshire and leads in Arizona. Trump had to win Florida to have any real shot at re-election, most analysts agree, while Biden has multiple paths to victory that do not include the state, such as winning back the Upper Midwest states like Wisconsin that Trump flipped four years ago. With 89 percent of the expected vote counted in Wisconsin, Biden had 49.3 percent to Trump's 49 percent, with much of the still-outstanding vote coming from Democratic-leaning areas like Green Bay and Kenosha. Trump won Florida 51.2 to 47.8 percent with 96 percent of the expected vote in. He claimed Ohio 53.3 percent to 45.2 percent with 90 percent in. He also won Texas and Iowa by similar margins, NBC News projects. Biden won Minnesota 52.7 to 45.3 percent with 93 percent of the expected vote in and he leads in Arizona 51.8 to 46.8 percent with 82 percent of the expected vote counted, according to NBC News. He also picked up one electoral vote from a congressional district in Omaha, Nebraska, which could be critical in a tight race. And the Democrat notched expected wins in Virginia, Colorado and New Mexico.
