In November, Democrat Joe Biden won 306 electoral votes, securing the 270 needed to capture the presidency, to Republican Donald Trump's 232 votes. Biden took five states that Trump had won in 2016: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Biden also won the national popular vote, by more than 7 million votes, or 4.5 percentage points. *Nebraska and Maine allocate some electors by congressional district. Biden won one electoral vote from Nebraska and Trump won one from Maine, although each candidate lost statewide.
