Democratic nominee Joe Biden will wrap up 34 electoral votes in New York and New Mexico, The New York Times and The Associated Press project.

Biden was expected to win the reliably blue states even as President Trump made a half-hearted push for his home state, leading to projections being called just after polls in New Mexico and New York closed. The wins give Biden a projected 119 electoral votes to Trump's 94, per the Times.
