The Democratic candidate for the Presidency of the United States, Joe biden, borders on triumph at the end of the fourth night of an agonizing scrutiny, which each time leaves the current president, Donald trump, less likely to be re-elected.
After more than 24 hours without changes in the Electoral College, Biden maintains 264 delegates, versus Trump’s 214. Both need a minimum of 270 to win the election.
Several states continue with close scrutiny – Arizona, Nevada or Georgia – although the key to ending the long count is Pennsylvania, that with his 20 electoral votes he would automatically give the victory to the democrat.
Right now Biden leads the count in Pennsylvania with 99% of votes counted by just four tenths, 49.6% to 49.2%.
It may seem little But the 28,877 votes that now separate the candidates are a big turnaround from the nearly 700,000 with which Trump led Biden on election night in that state of the so-called “blue wall”.
Georgia, Nevada increase Biden’s preliminary lead
Biden has also managed to turn the count around in Georgia, a state in which he now leads Trump by just 4,020 votes, a very tight margin with almost complete scrutiny that will lead to a recount in the coming days.
Georgia assigns 16 delegates to Electoral College and, like those of Pennsylvania, Trump needs them to clinch an increasingly unlikely victory.
The third state in contention is Nevada, with Biden at 49.8% and Trump at 48%. A difference of 22,657 votes that has widened in the last hours thanks to the advance of the vote in Las Vegas, where the majority of votes to be counted also follow.
In Arizona the gap is shorter
In Arizona, finally, a state that means like Fox News wave AP Agency They have already projected the electoral night in favor of the democrat but that other media consider premature, The advantage that Biden had has been fading to 29,861 votes, 49.6% to 48.7%.
Right now it is difficult to predict when it will be known which candidate is the new president-elect of the United States since distances are minimal in disputed states and scrutinies slower than expected.
