President-elect Joe Biden reached a lead of more than 6 million votes over President Trump on Friday as ballots continue to be counted in some states.
The Associated Press and other major news outlets called the race for Biden two weeks ago, although Trump has repeatedly refused to concede, claiming without evidence that he won and that there were widespread cases of voter fraud in key states such as Pennsylvania and Michigan, both of which voted for Biden.
As of Saturday morning, Biden held a total of 79,816,557 votes nationwide, compared to 73,781,603 votes for Trump, according to the AP.
Biden is projected to lead the electoral vote count with 306 votes, with the sitting president holding 232.
