World awaits outcome of U.S Presidential election

The United States election 2020 appears to be inching closer to an outcome, with Democrat Joe Biden appeared to be a step away from winning the US presidential election as the latest count of votes from several battleground states indicated that the re-election chances of incumbent Republican President Donald Trump are getting slim by the hour.

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.
