Biden also won at least three of four of Maine’s electoral votes, according to projections, to extend his slim lead over Trump in the race to reach the 270 votes needed to win the presidential election. In an incredible turnaround, the former vice president has also taken a sudden lead in Michigan. Biden’s campaign has said its legal teams are “ready to roll” if Trump goes ahead with his “outrageous” threat to have the Supreme Court stop the election count. In a statement, Biden’s campaign manager, Jen O’Malley Dillon, called Trump’s statement that he “will go to the Supreme Court of the United States” and that he wants “all voting to cease” as “outrageous, unprecedented. and wrong “.
Trump and Biden are now focusing on the three northern industrial states, Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania, which could prove crucial in determining who wins the White House. Four years after Trump became the first Republican in a generation to capture that trio of states, they were once again positioned to influence the outcome of the presidential election. Trump previously won Florida and Biden won Arizona, another key battleground, which broadened his possible paths to victory.
Speaking in the middle of a tough election, Joe Biden previously said that it wasn’t over until all the votes were counted and that they believed they were on track to win the polls. Addressing a crowd in Delaware, Biden said: “We feel good about where we are. We are on our way to winning this election. It’s not over until all the votes, all the ballots are counted. We have confidence in Arizona, that’s a change. radical, and still in the game in Georgia. We’re going to win Pennsylvania, but the votes will take time to count. ” His statement sparked a reaction from President Donald Trump, who said he will address the people tonight. “We are in a BIG time, but they are trying to STEAL the election. We will never let them do so. No votes can be cast after the polls close!” He tweeted. However, his tweet was flagged and hidden by Twitter as “misleading”.
Joe Biden has taken the lead over his Republican counterpart with 220 votes, while Donald Trump is just 7 votes behind him with 213. Voters under 30 across the Midwest are leaning toward Joe Biden, according to a poll. preview of CNN. Biden won the support of about 6 in 10 voters under the age of 30 in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Trump won the support of about 1 in 3 voters under the age of 30, early exit polls show. Hillary Clinton won young voters in all three states by single digits in 2016, while Biden currently leads by much more than that. White voters with a college degree are also leaning slightly toward Biden, according to early exit polls. Biden captured a double-digit lead with the group in Michigan and Pennsylvania; Clinton did not win this group in either state in 2016. Early returns might suggest a strong night for both President Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden, but this year more than most, it is important to emphasize that these returns are early.
And mail-in ballots, a larger share of the votes in this pandemic year, could prove decisive in each of these states. In Florida in 2018, mail-in ballots caused the race for governor to tighten substantially in the days after Election Day. In Arizona, another closed battleground state, the 2018 Senate race saw a decisive leadership change after Election Day and Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, a Democrat, won the race.
Democratic candidate Joe Biden said today that if he is elected to power, “there will be no red states or blue states, just the United States.” Acting Republican President Donald Trump and Biden ended their most divisive and bitter election campaign on Tuesday with fervent calls on social media for undecided Americans to vote for them as they pledged to lift the country out of the woods. The November 3 presidential election has been listed as one of the most divisive in recent US history. The election is already setting turnout records, and perhaps no two candidates are more at odds over the future of the country and the direction they want to take.
Trump, 74, toured the major voting battlefields of Wisconsin, Michigan, North Carolina and Pennsylvania on Monday as his 77-year-old rival campaigned in Pennsylvania and Ohio, urging Americans to back them in the race for the White House. “To all of our fans: Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You have been there from the beginning and I will never let you down. Your hopes are my hopes, your dreams are my dreams and your future is what I am fighting for! days! “Trump tweeted after midnight. “A vote for Sleepy Joe Biden is a vote to cede control of the government to wealthy liberal globalists, communists, socialists and hypocrites who want to silence, censor, cancel and punish you. Get out there and VOTE #MAGA tomorrow!” the president wrote in another tweet, attacking Biden.
The Republican Party in a tweet said: “Let’s make America great again and re-elect our fantastic president! We made history together four years ago, and tomorrow we will make history again, ”said the ruling party. Biden, the former US Vice President, said he was “running as a proud Democrat, but I will rule as US President.” “I will work with Democrats and Republicans, and I will work as hard for those who do not support me as I do for those who do.
“Because that’s the job of a president,” he wrote. He noted that under President Trump, more than “230,000 Americans have died from COVID-19, 30 million people have lost hours, paychecks or jobs, and nearly one in five small businesses have closed.” “Are you better than four years ago?” Biden asked the voters.
If elected president, Bien said he will rebuild infrastructure, fight climate change and create millions of high-paying union jobs. “It’s time to rebuild better together,” Biden said.
National polls suggest a firm lead for Biden in Tuesday’s election. But its advantage is less in the handful of states that could decide the outcome.
