Joe Biden won the battleground state of Michigan, adding 16 electoral votes to his tally and moving him ever closer to reaching the 270 electoral votes necessary to win the White House.

Victory in Michigan, coupled with his win in Wisconsin, puts the former vice president and 36-year Delaware senator within striking distance of the presidency. If Biden also wins Nevada and its six electoral votes, he’ll go past the 270 mark necessary to deny President Trump a second term.
