The Associated Press and other media organizations have projected victory for Joe Biden in the Presidential Election, as 99% of votes have been counted in the swing states of Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Georgia and Arizona....all of where Biden is still holding a narrow lead. Other than Georgia, the Associated Press has called all of these states for Biden.

Today, Biden called Trump’s refusal to concede “an embarrassment” while he was speaking to reporters in Wilmington, Delaware. Biden also stated that Trump’s current attitude won’t help him in the long run.

“I just think it’s an embarrassment quite frankly,” Biden said. “I think it will not help the president’s legacy.”

Now...from the White House to the Capitol:

North Carolina Republican Senator Thom Tillis has been reelected to a second term in the Senate, defeating Democrat challenger Cal Cunningham. Tillis' win means Republicans now take the lead in the battle to claim a majority in the Senate with 51 seats…with the GOP holding 49 seats, and Democrats holding 48.
