As ballots continue to be tabulated in several states across the nation, Democratic nominee Joe Biden has become the first presidential candidate to receive over 75 million votes.
As of Friday night, Biden has received 75,088,495 votes, according to data from The Cook Political Report.
The former vice president has already surpassed Barack Obama's record for the most votes cast for a presidential candidate. Obama received 69,498,516 votes in the 2008 election—a number Biden passed Thursday.
Biden is currently leading in the popular vote over President Donald Trump, who has 70,523,733 votes.
The race continues to tighten, hinging on only a few battleground states that are still too close to call three days after Election Day. But new ballot drops are strongly favoring Biden.
