Edison Research, the organization that made the prediction, also forecasted that North Carolina, the only other state with an undecided vote count, would be won by Trump, bringing the final electoral vote count to 306 for Biden and 232 for Trump. This gave Biden, a Democrat, a clear victory over Trump in the Electoral College, matching the 306 votes Trump, a Republican, won in 2016 against Hillary Clinton, a victory Trump famously called a "landslide." Despite Trump's refusal to concede, Biden's team confirmed they were proceeding with transition efforts. Although the national popular vote doesn't determine the election outcome, Biden led by over 5.3 million votes, or 3.4 percentage points. His popular vote share, at 50.8%, was slightly higher than Ronald Reagan's share in 1980 when he defeated Jimmy Carter. Trump, a Republican, alleges, without proof, that he was a victim of widespread election fraud and has refused to admit defeat. State election officials have found no significant irregularities, and many of his legal challenges have been unsuccessful. In order to secure a second term, Trump would have to overturn Biden's lead in at least three states, but he has not provided any evidence to support this claim. States have until December 8 to certify their elections and select electors for the Electoral College, which will officially choose the next president on December 14. A Michigan state court recently denied Trump's request to block the certification of votes in Detroit, where Biden had a strong lead. The lawsuit in Arizona by Trump's campaign was dropped by lawyers after the final vote count, making it irrelevant. Federal election security officials have stated that there is no evidence of any voting system compromising votes. Trump was scheduled to make his first public remarks since Biden was projected as the election's winner on Nov. 7, addressing government efforts to develop treatments for the coronavirus pandemic. Biden officials are moving forward with the transition, focusing on legislative priorities, reviewing federal agency policies, and preparing to fill numerous jobs in the new administration. "We are moving forward with the transition," stated Jen Psaki, a senior adviser to Biden's transition team, during a conference call on Friday. She emphasized the importance of Biden receiving up-to-date information from the Trump administration to address the ongoing pandemic and national security issues. Psaki called on Trump's White House to grant Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris access to daily intelligence briefings on potential global threats. She expressed growing concern that without access to these briefings, the national security team, president-elect, and vice president-elect are at a disadvantage. Psaki noted that Biden will receive briefings from his own national-security experts next week. He once again met with transition advisors on Friday at his Delaware beach house to plan his strategy for handling the pandemic and selecting top officials, including Cabinet members. The official transition process has been delayed due to Trump's refusal to acknowledge his defeat. The General Services Administration has not yet recognized Biden's victory, preventing him from accessing federal office space and resources. Trump reportedly told Fox News correspondent Geraldo Rivera that he would follow the US Constitution and hand over his office after all votes are counted, indicating that he is a realist. Rivera stated in an interview with Fox that he was informed by the individual that he would act in a morally correct manner. Rivera did not believe that the individual was planning to overthrow the government that was democratically elected, as he simply desired a fair competition.
