Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden acknowledged the historic nature of the election and how more than “150 million people cast their votes” this year during a speech in Wilmington, Delaware. “More Americans voted this election than ever before in American history. Over 150 million people cast their votes. I think that is just extraordinary. And if we had any doubts, we shouldn’t have any longer about a government of, by and for the people. It is very much alive, very much alive in America,” Biden said. Biden added: “Now after a long night of counting, it’s clear that we are winning enough states to reach 270 electoral votes needed to win the presidency. I’m not here to declare that we have won.

“Despite ridiculous public polling used as a voter suppression tactic, Wisconsin has been a razor thin race as we always knew that it would be,” Bill Stepien, Trump 2020 campaign manager says in a statement. “There have been reports of irregularities in several Wisconsin counties which raise serious doubts about the validity of the results. The President is well within the threshold to request a recount and we will immediately do so.” (YWN World Headquarters – NYC)

Millions of ballots cast in the 2020 presidential election are still being counted on Wednesday as the White House battle between incumbent President Trump and Democratic candidate Joe Biden narrows down to a handful of battleground states. The fate of the United States presidency hung in the balance Wednesday morning, as the battle was on in three familiar battleground states – Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania – that could prove crucial in determining who wins the White House. The race is still too close to call, with neither candidate reaching the necessary 270 electoral votes despite early victories in some marquee states. Trump won Florida, Ohio, Texas and others, while Biden carried Arizona, Minnesota and New Hampshire.

Trump says “we were winning everything and suddenly it was just called off.” He says the campaign was ready to celebrate, and says “we didn’t win [Florida], we won it by a lot.” “We won the great state of Ohio, we won Texas by 700,000 votes and they don’t even include it in the tabulations,” he says, claiming also that he has won Georgia and North Carolina. Trump says “we have a lot of life” in Arizona. He says it’s possible they will lose, but there’s still a lot of votes to be counted. He says he is winning Pennsylvania by a “tremendous amount” — he says they are up 690,000 votes in Pennsylvania and that it’s “not even close.” He says he believes he has Michigan too, leading by nearly 300,000 votes, and Wisconsin.
