Joe Biden has said Democrats are winning the race to White House and will be winning over 300 electoral votes. The world is waiting for the next US President and counting continues into the fourth day. Biden is on the cusp of securing the presidency after gaining narrow leads over Donald Trump in key battleground states of Georgia, Pennsylvania, Nevada and Arizona with narrow margins and the votes are still being counted.

Joe Biden would need six more electoral votes to secure the win. Securing Pennsylvania’s 20 electoral votes and Georgia’s six more electoral votes would put Biden over the 270 he needs to win the presidency. Across the US, Biden is leading Trump by 4.1 million votes out of a record 147 million cast in the 2020 US elections.

The prolonged process added to the anxiety of a nation whose racial and cultural divides were inflamed during the heated campaign.

Now Joe Biden is leading in Nevada by around 7,600 votes . He has 49.3 percent of the voter share and Trump is right behind him with 48.7 percent. This is a close race and a must win for Biden’s to win the presidency.

The tables were turned when Biden has won the battleground states of Wisconsin and Michigan, which have taken him closer to the winning mark of 270 electoral votes. Donald Trump’s victory in Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania in 2016 had ensured his entry into the White House.

Joe Biden has won more overall votes than any presidential candidates in US history, overtaking the record set by Barack Obama in 2008.

The Trump campaign, whose path to victory was narrowing dramatically, said that it would seek a recount in Wisconsin and then announced that it had legal action seeking to halt the vote count in Michigan. They are also consider taking legal action in Arizona and Nevada as votes are still being counted.

Presdient Donald Tump declared he would ask the Supreme Court to intervene in the 2020 election. As far as he was concerned, he said, he had already won: “So we’ll be going to the Supreme Court. We want all voting to stop.”

The high stake election was held against the backdrop of a unprecedented pandemic that has killed more than 2,30,000 Americans and wiped away millions of jobs.
