President Trump has picked up five more expected 2020 election wins.
Trump is projected to win South Carolina and its nine electoral votes, The Associated Press and The New York Times reported on Tuesday night. Additionally, shortly after polls closed, Trump was quickly projected to win Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Oklahoma by the AP and the Times.
These were all states where a Trump win had been anticipated after he previously scored clear victories there four years ago. Trump had already earlier in the evening been projected to win Kentucky, Indiana, and West Virginia.
