현재 미 대선 상황 및 개표율
The outcome of the U.S. presidential election is on a knife edge, with Donald Trump and his rival Joe Biden neck and neck in key swing states.
Biden, a Democrat, said he was "on track" to victory, while Trump, a Republican, claimed "a big win."
With the nation on edge, the final result may not be known for days as postal votes are tallied.
More than 100 million people cast their ballots in early voting before election day on Tuesday - setting U.S. on course for its highest turnout in a century.
America has decided 2020.
We have a team coverage tonight from different corners of the globe.
From Washington, Ciaran McQuillan with AP International is live for us, Ken Moritsugu in Beijing and Reuters-affiliate Natalie Powell is live in London for us.
Biden is ahead in the electoral college count so far, but President Trump is within striking distance as well.
Doyeon, what are the projections so far?
That's right Conn-young, before we break down everything, let's just see where the candidates have won their electoral votes so far.
These figures are according to CNN at 5:30 PM Korea Time.
California and New York, solid states for Biden with 55 and 29 electoral votes, respectively.
New Hampshire, first to vote on election day, goes to Biden.
Trump kept his second home, Florida, by a margin of around three percent... and Texas as well, huge chunks as you can see.
He also kept Ohio, which is a must-win state for a Republican candidate... no Republican president got to the White House without this state, and he took it comfortably.
So now this is how the map looks overall.
Biden at 224 and Trump at 213.
We see the yellow spots where projected winners are yet to be called.
Georgia and North Carolina here, no projected winners yet, but Trump is in the lead.
Nevada... looks like Biden will carry the state picked Clinton last time as well.
Overall, President Trump looks better in the key battleground states, Conn-young, but we still have votes to count.
But for the ones yet to be called, let's focus on these three states.
We've got Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin on the map here.
Among the three states, we've got 46 electoral votes.
Pennsylvania, you see the huge lead here in percentage and Trump's leading with nearly 700,000 votes.
On the other hand, no projected winner is called because we know, Democrats are more likely to vote by mail... and it's been reported that the state has more than a million mail-in ballots to count, especially in the Philadelphia region.
We know Pennsylvania will have extra days to count those ballots as well.
Keep in mind, mail-in ballots take longer to count than in-person votes because there are extra procedures.
That being said, some election centers are taking a break until Wednesday morning to start counting again.
Lastly, let's get to another interesting state.
Conn-young... we talked about how it's a cliffhanger.
Arizona...
