A source close to the White House said it's becoming apparent that GOP officials are beginning to lose patience with some of President Trump's behavior as he baselessly claims fraud is robbing him of the presidency.
Trump is "bleeding GOP support," said the source, who described the President's complaints as an "ambulance chasing routine."
The source went on to criticize the Trump campaign for leveling charges of voter fraud in Pennsylvania.
It's just after 5:30 p.m. ET: This is where the race to 270 stands.
Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden is leading the race with 253 electoral votes. President Trump has 213 electoral votes.
Based on these projections, this is where the race to 270 currently stands.
Top Biden adviser says confidence has increased significantly as the days move ahead
From CNN's Jeff Zeleny
Joe Biden is holding a call with his campaign’s National Finance Committee shortly, according to two sources familiar, thanking his top contributors for building what unexpectedly became the bright spot of his operation: A major financial advantage over the Trump campaign.
The call underscores the optimism inside Democratic circles at the prospect of Biden winning. After a day of counting, a top adviser tells me their confidence has increased significantly as the day has moved along.
One thing Biden will not have tonight: a victory rally outside the Chase Center. The stage remains set. The red, white and blue neon Biden-Harris signs are still on. Flags are rippling in the breeze, but there will be no fireworks tonight.
Even with an air of confidence, a message has gone out to Biden world: They need to see this through, keeping a close eye on Pennsylvania, Nevada and Arizona. Legal teams are ready to be deployed, along with other workers if needed.
One thing not being talked about tonight: The Biden transition. It’s been in place for months, as required by law, but it’s a topic that’s off-limits here in Wilmington.

Department of Homeland Security warns of fake media accounts sharing premature election results
From CNN's Brian Fung
Fake Twitter accounts impersonating the Associated Press sowed disinformation online Wednesday by attempting to call election results prematurely, prompting national security officials to issue warnings about the behavior.
Screenshots of one of the accounts showed impostors appearing to call Michigan for Joe Biden. As of this write, the AP has not called Michigan for either candidate. CNN has called Michigan for Joe Biden.
CNN was unable to independently view the impersonator accounts before Twitter removed them from their platform.
AP spokesperson Patrick Maks told CNN, “These are bogus accounts not affiliated with AP.”
The Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency said it has witnessed multiple reports of social media accounts pretending to be legitimate news outlets calling election results, and that it had anticipated the tactic.
“Don’t fall for it!” tweeted CISA director Chris Krebs, linking to an agency guide telling voters that “malicious actors can use fake personas and impersonate real accounts.”
“Most media accounts on platforms will have a checkmark, so if they’re not verified, dig deeper!” Krebs said in a follow-up tweet.
The tweets mark Krebs’ first public warning of a specific threat affecting the current election.
The accounts in question "were in violation of our impersonation policy,” a Twitter spokesperson told CNN. "They are permanently suspended.”
Twitter said it has not witnessed any large-scale attempts to impersonate media outlets but that it will suspend any account that attempts to do so.

If Biden wins Arizona and Nevada, he wins the election, CNN's John King says
If Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden maintains his lead in Nevada and Arizona, he will secure the 270 electoral votes needed to take the presidency, CNN's John King said this afternoon.
"Nevada and Arizona are not called but Joe Biden is leading and Wolf [Blitzer] made the point if Joe Biden protects the lead in Nevada and Arizona and he gets to 270 electoral votes even if he doesn't win the commonwealth of Pennsylvania," King said.
Drilling down into the Arizona numbers: The state still has more than 600,000 ballots remaining to be counted, officials tell CNN.
Between 615,000 and 635,000 ballots, possibly more, remain to be counted in Arizona, according to the officials.
Biden currently leads Trump by about 93,000 votes statewide, 51% to 47.6%, according to CNN’s latest count. According to informal estimates, Trump would need to win approximately 58% of the outstanding vote to overcome Biden’s lead.
