Democratic White House hopeful Joe Biden cast his vote in the US presidential race on Wednesday in Delaware, six days before the end of a turbulent campaign that pitted him against incumbent Donald Trump.

The former vice president entered the Delaware state building in Wilmington, where he joined the record number of Americans who have voted early or by mail, 74 million as of Wednesday, as people seek to avoid crowded polling stations during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Shortly before voting, Biden said he hopes that he and other Democrats on the ballot will be elected so they can “turn things around” and “make it better” for ordinary Americans.
