Donald Trump and Joe Biden await final recount of electoral college vote recount
New Delhi:
US President Donald Trump has been tweeting furiously as his rival Joe Biden takes the lead in key states, including Pennsylvania. Most of the votes that remain to be counted are in Democratic-leaning areas such as the greater Philadelphia area, a city in Pennsylvania.
To this, President Trump tweeted: “Filadelpiha has a rotten history when it comes to electoral integrity.”

But President Trump misspelled the name of the city, also known as “Philadelphia” by its residents.
The current president of the United States is not new to making spelling mistakes in his tweets.
Just before the last US presidential election in 2016 too, Donald Trump felt embarrassed after making three misspellings in a 21-word tweet attacking Hillary Clinton.
In a tweet criticizing Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump wrote: “Hillary Clinton should not receive national security reports that she is a lost cannon with extraordinarily bad judgment and instincts.”
However, Twitter users were quick to point out the three misspellings in their short tweet: “lose” instead of “loose”, “innuendo” instead of “instincts” and “judgment” instead of the correct spelling. from the US word “trial”.
The outcome of the US presidential election is in balance today as a handful of states on the battlefield complete their vote counts, but Joe Biden was closing in on victory save for one surprise.
Biden has obtained 253 of the 270 electoral votes he needs, according to US media projections, and has taken the lead in Pennsylvania, which would put him at the top.
President Trump has won 214 electoral votes so far, and while the Republican incumbent was still contested in several states that could provide him a path to re-election, that path was narrowing.
