The battle for the two presidential candidates is congested in five key states: Arizona, Georgia, Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania.
Arizona appears to be leaning toward Biden, so the Democratic presidential candidate must win in two of the three states (Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania) to win the presidential election.
Biden appears to be lagging behind Trump in all three states, but not all ballots have been counted.
There are more than 1.4 million ballots in the state of Pennsylvania mailed, and it could take days to count them all. The major cities of Michigan (Detroit) and Wisconsin (Milwaukee) have also not counted all the votes.

When asked about his plans, Trump admitted he had no preparations.
“No, I haven’t thought of a defeat speech or an acceptance speech. I hope we do one of those two and, you know, winning is easy, losing is never easy. Not for me, not for me,” Trump said.
On the other hand, Joe Biden, the Democratic presidential candidate, said he was “full of hope.”
However, Biden will not establish his plans if the results are not announced on November 3.
“There are so many ongoing rights right now … We’ll see,” Biden said.
“If there is something to talk about tonight, I will speak. If not, I will wait until the ballots are counted the next day,” he continued.

Who determines which presidential candidate wins a state?
Official US election results don’t come out for days or even weeks. As such, the media quickly made predictions, or projections, of the winners in each state.
Teams of experts and statisticians analyze combined information, such as data exit poll (interviews with voters in polling stations and calls for voters who cast their vote before November 3), as well as data on the vote count.
In a country that always chooses a particular party, results are sometimes projected as soon as the vote ends, according to exit polls. However, in the fierce competition, more data is taken from the vote count in the field.

While all the focus is on the Trump-Biden rivalry, voters also determine new members of Congress by filling out the ballot.
Democrats have controlled the lower house of parliament or the RPD, so they are determined to defend this and aspire to control the Senate.
