The final result of the US presidential election is still up in the air, and the focus of global attention has fallen on several key states: Georgia, Pennsylvania, Nevada and Arizona. Judging by the latest results of the count, Democratic candidate Biden maintained the lead.
Biden delivered a speech in Delaware on Friday night Eastern time (Nov. 6), saying he would win the election with a clear advantage, but did not directly announce his victory.
Biden said he believes he is expected to get more than 300 electoral votes. He hopes to become the presidential candidate to win Arizona and Georgia for the Democratic Party for the first time in more than 20 years. These two states are traditionally Republican.
Biden said the votes will give them the power to solve the new corona virus, the economy, climate change and racism. Today, the new corona epidemic in the United States remains serious. Biden said he will take action against the new corona virus on his first day as president.
The US media reported that Mark Meadows, the White House chief of staff, was infected with the new corona virus. Become another person on President Trump’s team infected with the virus.
Arizona (11 electoral votes)
Arizona is one of the few states that continues to count votes. Democratic candidate Biden currently leads the state by nearly 30,000 votes, but Trump has been slowly recovering.
Secretary of State Hobbs (Katie Hobbs) said 95% of the votes have been counted and there are 173,000 votes to be counted.
Biden performed better in Arizona cities, while Trump got more votes in rural areas. If Biden continues to maintain leadership in Arizona, the state’s 11 electoral votes will bring him closer to the 270 votes that won the election.
Trump supporters gathered at the voting station and demanded that all ballots be counted, some of them carrying guns.
Hobbs told CNN that some votes are not expected to be counted until the weekend, but counties are still working tirelessly to ensure the fastest and most accurate counting results. When asked about President Trump’s electoral cheating, he said there was “absolutely no wrongdoing.”
Nevada (6 electoral votes)
Currently, the state has counted 93% of the votes and Biden leads Trump by more than 20,000 votes. Although voters in many rural areas prefer Trump, Biden won in the most densely populated counties.
Officials say there are tens of thousands of ballots to count. Many ballots came from Clark County, including Las Vegas, and most were mailed.
Nevada has 6 electoral votes. Biden has received 253 electoral votes so far and still needs to get 17 to win the presidential election. The state can have a clearer result during the weekend.
Pennsylvania (20 electoral votes)
The eyes of many people are focused on Pennsylvania, which has the most electoral votes among all the states that have not yet announced the results.
Biden leads the state, and if he wins in Pennsylvania, he will get the 270 electoral votes needed to enter the White House.
Biden’s lead expanded at 11 p.m. ET on Friday (Nov. 6), leading Trump by more than 28,000 votes.
The votes to be counted will come primarily from votes mailed in Philadelphia and Allenigan County, the largest city in the state. Hillary Clinton won these places in 2016, so the majority of the votes are Democrats.
Friday is the last day for Pennsylvania to receive ballots by mail, and the postmark on ballots sent by mail must be on or before Election Day. State officials said it could take longer to complete the vote count.
Georgia (16 electoral votes)
According to the BBC’s vote counting system, Biden currently leads Trump in Georgia by more than 4,000 votes.
Georgia Secretary of State Raffensberger (Brad Raffensberger) said Friday that about 8,000 mailed military ballots are still being delivered, and the ballots will be counted if they arrive on the same day.
The votes currently being counted are primarily mail-in votes in Atlanta and Savannah, where voters prefer Biden.
Ravensberg also said on Friday that the state would recount the votes due to the small gap between the two candidates. So to know the end result, you may have to wait.
Georgia is a traditional Republican state. Democrats have not won in the state since 1992.
Severe epidemic in the US
While the United States held its breath awaiting the results of the presidential elections, the new corona virus continues to rage there.
According to statistics from Johns Hopkins University in the United States, 127,000 new cases were registered in the United States on Friday, marking a new daily high for the third day in a row. The total number of cases in the United States is close to 10 million.
In terms of the number of infections and deaths, the United States is the country with the most severe COVID-19 epidemic, with 236,000 reported deaths. New cases have emerged in the Midwestern states, and North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa and Wisconsin are considered new high-risk areas.
Although the COVID-19 pandemic is an issue of greater concern to many voters, polls from the polls in Tuesday’s election showed,The economy is the most important factor affecting voting.
