The counting of votes for the US presidential election is still going on. According to the latest reports, in the US state of Georgia, Joe Biden has surpassed Trump with more votes. In 2016, Trump received 5% more votes than the same state.
According to the latest information released by US broadcasters on the presidential election, the presidential candidate Joe Biden has won over the US President Donald Trump after a contest in the state of Georgia, but the process of full counting of votes is still going on.
This is the same state where Trump won 5% more votes in 2016. Results for Arizona, Nevada, North Carolina and Pennsylvania have not yet been released. Counting of postal ballots is underway in these states.
Any candidate needs 270 electoral votes to win. Earlier, Democratic nominee Joe Biden led the way with 253 electoral votes, while Republican President Donald Trump received 214 votes as of Thursday.
So far, results have come from 44 US states and the capital, Washington DC. In the states of Arizona and Nevada, Joe Biden is ahead of Trump, while in North Carolina, Trump is ahead of Biden.
Similarly, in Pennsylvania and Georgia there is a slight difference between the votes of the two candidates, but here too Trump is ahead of Biden. But as the vote counts, Biden's vote is growing and the gap between the two candidates is narrowing. Pennsylvania has 20, North Carolina has 15, Georgia has 16 and Alaska has three.
Even if President Trump wins all of these states, he will have a total of 268 electoral votes and will need two more electoral votes to become president again. To win the presidency, Trump must not only win in those states, but he must also win in one of the states, Nevada or Arizona, where Biden has the upper hand.
It should be noted that President Trump's election campaign had approached the courts on Thursday to stop the counting of votes in Georgia, Pennsylvania and Michigan. In the state of Michigan, Biden won by a narrow margin, while Georgia and Pennsylvania are the states where the two candidates are in a tie and the counting of votes is still going on.
It is also worth mentioning that President Trump's election campaign has approached the court to stop the counting of votes in three states. Democratic Party's Kamala Harris and Republican Mike Pence are running for vice president. In the US election, about 100 million registered voters had already exercised their right to vote through early voting. The counting of these votes is underway.
