At 5:30 p.m. ET, California’s electors cast their state’s 55 Electoral College votes for President-elect Joe Biden, putting him over the 270 needed to win.<\/p>\n

President Trump has refused to concede the\u00a0election<\/a>\u00a0and his last-ditch legal attempts to overturn the results have been quashed in the courts. On Friday, the\u00a0Supreme Court rejected a lawsuit<\/a>filed by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton that sought to stop electors in four key battleground states from\u00a0voting<\/a>Monday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
