1:08Now PlayingVotes were being counted in Atlanta, Detroit and Phoenix on Wednesday as U.S. President Donald Trump's possible path to reelection narrowed.
Democratic challenger Joe Biden won the battleground prizes of Michigan and Wisconsin on Wednesday, reclaiming a key part of the “blue wall” that slipped away from Democrats four years ago.
Biden also won Arizona on Wednesday, a former Republican stronghold, becoming only the second Democratic presidential candidate since 1948 to win the state.
Early Wednesday, Trump prematurely claimed he carried Georgia.
Yet in the evening, the race was still too early to call, with an estimated 6% of the vote remaining to be counted.
That includes ballots from counties Biden is winning in the Atlanta area.
A full day after Election Day, neither candidate had cleared the 270 Electoral College votes needed to win the White House.
But Biden's victories in the Great Lakes states left him at 264, meaning he was one state away - any state - from crossing the threshold and becoming president-elect.
Trump’s campaign requested a recount in Wisconsin, in addition to filing lawsuits in Pennsylvania and Michigan.
