Washington DC: After the intense neck-to-neck contest, Democratic candidate Joe Biden is inching towards a victory in the US presidential election 2020.
He needs just six more electoral college votes to win the race to the White House. Biden has already grabbed 264 projected electoral college votes.
Biden is predicted to win the key states of Arizona, Michigan and Wisconsin, according to the Associated Press (AP). He also has an edge in Nevada, which will give him six more votes to cross the finish line, but the results are unlikely to come until the weekend.
US President Donald Trump, who is leading the states of Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Georgia, currently has 214 electoral votes, according to AP’s projected tally. However, what isn’t good news for the Trump campaign is that Biden is narrowing the gap in Georgia and Pennsylvania.
In an early morning press conference Wednesday, Trump accused the Biden campaign of election fraud and vowed to move the US Supreme Court over the results. Despite drawing criticism, Trump’s campaign went ahead to confirm it would formally request a Wisconsin recount, citing “irregularities in several Wisconsin counties.” It also filed lawsuits in Pennsylvania and Michigan before the projections were made, laying the groundwork for contesting the outcome in these key battleground states.
On the other hand, Biden wrote in a tweet, “Donald Trump does not decide the outcome of this election and nor do I. The American people decide. That’s why we’ve launched the Biden Fight Fund — to ensure every vote is counted. Chip in to help fund our election protection efforts across the country:”
