Biden took a narrow lead as counting continued Wednesday, four years after Trump narrowly won the state.
Joe Biden defeated President Donald Trump in Michigan, adding its 16 electoral votes to his general election tally four years after Trump painted it red in a narrow, shocking victory.
Michigan’s large population of white and blue-collar voters helped Trump narrowly defeat Hillary Clinton in 2016, by 11,000 votes, but Biden’s higher popularity made the state a heavier lift for Trump in 2020. Biden led in nearly every poll taken of Michigan since he won the Democratic primary there earlier this year, though his final results lagged behind his polling results.

"It is clear we are winning in enough states to reach the 270 electoral votes needed to win the presidency," Biden said today. "I am not here to declare that I have won. I am here to report that when the count is finished, I believe I will be the winner" https://t.co/TTVOsXkU0J pic.twitter.com/RNhCjM912I
