US election results show strong Trump-Biden race
Donald Trump and Joe Biden each need 270 electoral votes to win the presidency. Trump’s electoral votes are 213 till now while Biden 238.
“Millions and millions of people voted for us,” Trump said in the East Room. “A very sad group of people is trying to disenfranchise that group of people.”
With millions of votes yet to be counted, Trump said he was preparing to declare victory yesterday evening.
“We were getting ready for a big celebration. We were winning everything. And all of a sudden it was just called off,” he said, calling this an “embarrassment to our country.”
However, in an interview with CNN on Wednesday morning, Pennsylvania Democratic Sen. Bob Casey was confident about Joe Biden’s chance of winning the key state.
“I think if Biden wins Pennsylvania, which I think he will, and then he wins Michigan and Wisconsin, then it’s over. You win those three states that were lost last time, then it’ll be over,” Casey said.
Donald Trump won all three states in 2016 in the last presidential election.
In a statement at the White House early Wednesday, Trump claimed that he’d won several states that are still counting ballots, including Georgia, North Carolina and Pennsylvania.
