the white house with tallies of postal votes favoring the democratic party with counting nearly complete guide in overtakes the president in that key state of georgia. the at. i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program facing growing likelihood of defeat in the u.s. presidential election donald trump has again claimed without evidence that he won and that democrats are trying to steal the election in fact trump is steadily losing ground as the tallies in most undecided states swing in favor of joe biden let's get a closer look at the figures as they stand right now they show biden with $264.00 electoral votes and president trump with 241. straight now to georgia where

16 electoral votes are up for grabs and the picture is really moving at this moment because biden has just pulled ahead of trump with a little over 900 votes 99 percent of those votes counted there pennsylvania another key state with 20 electoral votes up for grabs donald trump currently holding a narrow read tenths of a percent lead there the gap has been narrowing rapidly and in arizona votes are still being counted there the a.p. news agency has called this state for biden but most other media outlets have not called it a levon electoral votes at stake which are included here in by this count but again that could still change nevada now joe biden currently having a very slim lead in the state the state carries 6 votes he needs to win reporting from the state shows 84 percent of the vote has already been counted there so with

the votes still being tallied don't trump a path to victory it's looking increasingly difficult states in red or blue they have been called by a.p. for trump or biden states in lighter blue or pink they are leaning toward biden or trump respectively and i mean one state will give biden the win trump needs a combination of states to win so let's get a live update now from washington on state of the race where the vote the vote count stands right now we're joined by correspondent carla bleicher who is standing by for us there so as we've just seen carla biden pulling ahead in georgia but by the way for thing the margin what should we be watching as the counting continues. well definitely keep your eye on georgia because as you mentioned the margin there is is incredibly small so it could go back and forth if you will. also keep watching arizona some news organizations as you mentioned have already called it

but others have nots in biden sleep there appear to be shrinking and then of course spent.
