US Election result and map: Joe Biden wins to become the 46th President of the United States

Joe Biden has topped the 270 electoral college votes needed for victory over Donald Trump in the US presidential race.

The former vice-president was called as the winner of Pennsylvania on Saturday, November 7, leaving him with an insurmountable lead in the race for the White House.

Winning the vote in Wisconsin, Michigan and Arizona – three states that voted for Mr Trump in 2016 – opened up several pathways to the presidency for the Democratic candidate.

It was victory in Pennsylvania, some four days after polls closed that saw him over the line. Nevada, with its six votes, was called for Mr Biden shortly after. 

The President-elect extended his winning margin when he became the first Democrat to win Arizona since Bill Clinton was re-elected in 1996 - before claiming Georgia, another traditional Republican stronghold, following a re-count. 

Meanwhile Mr Trump picked up North Carolina. The final results took Mr Biden to 306 Electoral College votes with Mr Trump trailing far behind on 232.
