Biden projected to win California, Oregon, and Washington

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden is projected to win California, Oregon, and Washington.

Several news outlets called the races when polls closed at 8 p.m. local time, including The Associated Press, ABC News, NBC News, Fox News, and CNN.

California has 55 electoral votes, Oregon has seven electoral votes, and Washington has 12 electoral votes. These states are reliably blue during presidential elections, and President Trump lost all of them to Hillary Clinton in 2016.
