US Election 2020: Latest Updates
According to the latest update, The Democratic Candidate Joe Biden has reached 264 electoral votes with approximately 72.14 million votes. In contrast, Republican candidate Donald Trump is at 214 electoral votes with 68.6 million votes.
The democratic presidential candidate wrote on Twitter that he is confident that he will emerge victoriously. He added that the victory is not his alone; in fact, it will be the American people's victory. However, Donald Trump threatens to fight the outcome in court. Trump seeks to fire up his supporters for a bitter legal strike. On the other hand, Joe Biden called for people on both sides to unite, heal, and come together as Nation. It was a clear rebuke to trump's attempt to sow doubt with claims of fraud and threats the election all the way to the supreme court, ushering in a potentially prolonged and messy endgame to the election.
On Wednesday, there were indications that the presidential post of trump is slipping away. Later that day, he tweeted and stating a claim on Pennsylvania, Georgia, and northern California, all of which remain too close to call. Even Trump supporters are found in Arizona chanting stop the steal. Shockingly some of them were carrying rifles and handguns, and they were unmasked. Rumors spread that the votes for the Republican president were deliberately not counting.
The former vice-president won the crucial battleground states of Michigan and Wisconsin on Wednesday. Biden's victory in Michigan pushes him to 264 electoral votes. Four years ago, victory in two key swing states, Michigan and Wisconsin, showed Trump- to the way of White house. Undoubtedly, the big blow for Trump.
After a full day, No candidate had got the 270 Electoral College votes needed to win the White House. But Biden’s victories in the Great Lakes states left him at 264, which means he was one battleground state away from crossing the threshold and becoming president-elect.
Biden has got more than 71m votes, the most in history, his running mate Kamala Harris at an afternoon news conference said he now expected to win the presidency. However, he stopped short of outright declaring victory.
While Donald Trump is questioning the election, Joe Biden clearly said on Twitter that- "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. It's almost clear that Joe Bidden will be the Winner. The target is 270 to secure the White House.
Now there is a question arise! Why the Republican president is not getting votes from the US people. Many people argue that his lack of management during the Covid situation is one of the biggest reasons. Some people believe that President Donald Trump failed to make timely and proper decisions to overcome the coronavirus situation. American has suffered a lot during this pandemic.
However, Joe Biden wrote on Twitter-"Once this election is finalized and behind us, it will be time for us to do what we've always done as Americans: To put the harsh rhetoric of the campaign behind us."
