President Trump secured Florida's crucial 29 Electoral College votes, along with Texas, Ohio, and Iowa, while Joe Biden won Minnesota and New Hampshire.
The presidential race remained extremely tight, with both candidates short of the 270 Electoral College votes needed to win the White House.
Focus shifted to key Northern industrial battleground states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin, which were too close to call and could determine the election's outcome.
Biden urged patience for vote counting, emphasizing that the election "ain't over until every vote is counted," as millions cast ballots amid record turnout.
