The difference in the acquisition of electoral votes between the president of the United States (USA), Donald Trump, and his rival, Joe Biden, the presidential candidate of the Democratic Party, is decreasing. Counting the results of the US presidential elections in several US states that have not yet entered will determine whether Trump or Biden win.

The number of electoral votes won by Biden and Trump is very likely to change because the results of the presidential election in several states, including Nevada, Michigan, Georgia, Pennsylvania and North Carolina, have not been counted so far.
Overall, according to Fox News data, Biden has surpassed Trump in popular votes so far, with Biden getting more than 70 million votes (50.2 percent), while Trump has more than 67 million votes. votes (48.3 percent).
However, with the US presidential election adopting an electoral college system or a representative system, electoral votes will determine the victory of a presidential candidate. At least 270 electoral votes, out of a total of 538 electoral votes, are needed to win the US presidential election.
Meanwhile, the New York Times (NYT) preliminary count shows that Joe Biden has won 237 electoral votes and Trump 214 electoral votes thus far. Biden obtained more than 70 million votes (50.2 percent), while Trump obtained more than 67 million votes (48.0 percent)
