In a tweet, the election analysis organization proclaimed: "Joe Biden has been elected the 46th President of the United States of America. Race called at 11-06 08:50 AM EST"

However, a disclaimer on their website notes: "Results before polls close are test data only."

With 96% of the vote counted in Pennsylvania so far, Biden is currently ahead of rival President Donald Trump by 49.5% of the vote to Trump's 49.3%. The President has said that he will not concede the election until every legally cast vote is counted.
