So that leaves AZ, GA, NC, NV, and PA in play. Trump has one path to victory only: win every remaining state except Nevada.
Biden becomes president in any of these scenarios:
1. He wins PA
2. He wins any two of AZ, NV, GA, NC
We get the nightmare scenario of a 269-269 tie if Biden wins GA and Trump sweeps the remaining states.

I probably shouldn't put so much trust in the AP, but I am assuming Arizona is already won for Biden and we are just waiting on Nevada to be called.
Winning Georgia and/or Pennsylvania would really help lessen the uncertainty of inevitable recounts and lawyering that is going to happen though.
If Biden only wins 270, we won't hear the end of it until Biden is actually sworn in.
