Joe Biden projects confidence about his lead: 'We believe we will be the winners'

Joe Biden projected confidence Wednesday that he will maintain his lead over Donald Trump in a series of key states that are enough to hand him the presidency.

Biden, in remarks on Wednesday afternoon, said that after "a long night of counting, it is clear that we are winning enough states to reach 270 electoral votes needed to win the presidency."

"I am not here to declare that we have won," Biden said, taking a notably different tact than the President, who early in the morning on Wednesday falsely said that he had won the White House. "But I am here to report when the count is finished, we believe we will be the winners."

CNN has projected Biden will win Michigan and Wisconsin, two of the "blue wall" states that President Donald Trump won in 2016. Biden also currently leads in Nevada, a state he needs to hold, and Arizona, a state that would represent a significant flip for the former vice president.
