There are two similar questions in the US election that can have different answers: Who won?
Who is the next president of the USA?
The
US election 2020
* will only be finally decided after election day.
The count in several states is a long time coming.
Joe Biden
or
Donald Trump
: who won the election?
Who is the new President of the USA?
Update from November 4, 2020, 8:50 p.m.:
There is still no result
in
Michigan
- and it could stay that way for longer.
Trump's campaign team has announced that they have now
filed
a
lawsuit
against the further vote count.
The count should therefore be interrupted until sufficient access to the polling stations is guaranteed.
Polling letters that were previously opened without supervision should be counted again under supervision.
The
announcement of a recount also hovers
over the result in
Wisconsin
.
Biden had just won there shortly before.
Update from November 4, 2020, 6.30 p.m.:
You will receive more news about the presidential election with many reactions and backgrounds the day after the election in our new US election ticker.
Update from November 4, 2020, 4.30 p.m.: It is
still open who won the 2020 US election.
Results in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, Arizona, Wisconsin, Nevada, Maine, and Alaska are pending.
According to CNN,
Trump currently has 213 voters
, his
challenger Joe Biden 224
.
Both need 270 voters for a majority.
The final result can still take a long time.
Those responsible for holding the election in the important Swing State of
Michigan have
asked the candidates to be patient in the face of the ongoing count.
The Democratic Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson told CNN that there were still "hundreds of thousands" of votes, especially from the larger cities.
She expects a lot more clarity later in the day, said Benson.
2020 US election: who will win the election?
Surprise in Wisconsin
Update November 4, 11:49 a.m.: Hawaii certainly went to Biden
,
Arizona and Maine
probably also, or the states were assigned to it.
Biden is also ahead in Nevada.
It
came as a
big surprise
in
Wisconsin
.
This state is tilted in the democratic direction by Milwaukee County.
However, only 0.3 percent separate the competitors here.
Trump is currently leading in Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Alaska.
However, Pennsylvania has until Friday to count the postal votes.
Here, too, the outcome remains open.
A sudden turnaround like in Wisconsin is quite conceivable.
In the Senate, too, the battle over the distribution of seats is extremely tight.
The Democrats currently have 47 seats, as do the Republicans.
2020 US election: who will lead and who will be the next US President?
Update from November 4, 8:40 a.m.:
Joe Biden is currently in the lead, but the momentum is more with Trump if you look at
Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Georgia
.
Trump is ahead in all states.
If he were to get these states, he would have
77 electors
.
With that he would have won the majority of the votes.
However, 68 percent of the vote in Michigan and 81 percent of the vote in Wisconsin are counted.
Nothing has been decided yet.
It remains insanely close.
For example,
1.4 million postal votes
have not yet been counted in Pennsylvania.
Update from November 4, 7:04 a.m.:
Currently
, the tide
seems to
be turning
towards incumbent President Trump
.
Ohio, Iowa, Texas, and Florida
now went to
Republicans
.
But states like Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan are still missing.
In 2016 the results were as follows:
Update from November 4, 3:55 a.m.:
A majority for Biden, but Trump is far from defeated.
Such is the situation in the early hours of the morning German time.
As in the previous US presidential election, there are indications that the question of who won the election may not be raised until mid-morning or even later.
Update from November 4, 2.30 a.m.:
The
counting
of votes is progressing, but in many states the
polling stations
are not yet closed.
In terms of the number of electors, Joe Biden is slightly ahead, but the 2020 US election is far from near its final result.
So it still takes a while until there is an answer to the questions of the day: Who won the US election in 2020?
Who is president
Biden vs Trump: who will win the US election?
Who will be the new President of the USA?
Update from November 3, 11:58 p.m.:
If Donald Trump loses the US election, he could lose more than just the office of US President.
There are indications that further consequences threaten Trump, which he has only been spared by his special position as head of state.
Update from November 3, 6:30 p.m.:
While the incumbent
US President Donald Trump will be
in the White House in Washington on election evening, challenger
Joe Biden
will spend
the day in his hometown of Scranton in the embattled state of Pennsylvania *.
Biden's wife Jill, on the other hand, will still campaign for votes in Florida.
But because of the unusually
high number of postal voters
and the associated
lengthy counting
, it is still uncertain whether there will be a winner on election evening.
Nevertheless, on Wednesday morning (CET) a tendency should be discernible whether Trump will go into a second term or Biden will be the 46th President of the USA.
Update from November 3, 2:05 p.m.:
When the concrete results will really be available and thus it will definitely be known
who will be the next US President
, is still questionable.
Since, according to information from the
Washington Post,
the number of
postal
voters is expected to be between 50 and 70 percent, much depends on when the votes in the states are counted.
This can drag on for weeks, especially since some countries will also have
postal votes
that come in a certain time window after election day on November 3rd counted.
In addition, 30 states give their citizens time to correct errors in postal votes that would otherwise invalidate the vote.
2020 US election: who won?
Who is the new President of the USA?
First report from November 3rd:
Munich / Washington, DC - On the night of November
3rd to 4th, 2020
(according to German time), the time has come: The fight for the first office in the state is mainly led by the duos
Joe Biden
and Kamala Harris as well as
Donald Trump
and Mike Pence run.
Other candidates have virtually no chance.
Decision on the 2020 US election: when will there be an (official) result?
Then who is the president?
Who won the election?
Who is president
A decision on the
2020 US election
can
be expected
in
Germany
in the early morning hours of November 4th, 2020.
In Donald Trump's first election, the result was only announced around 8:30 a.m., but in Barack Obama's first election at around 5 a.m.
When the time will come in 2020 is not yet in sight.
The result of the
presidential election
has yet to be made official.
This will only happen after the so-called electoral representatives meet in December 2020. The
inauguration of
the President * will take place in the
USA
on January 20, 2021 - if there is no re-election.
Who won the US election?
- Joe Biden and Donald Trump in the running for president
As already mentioned,
polls
and forecasts for the US election 2020
see
two candidates in the selection for the position of president: Joe Biden (Democrat) and Donald Trump (Republican).
The right to vote in the US leads to the absurd situation that the winner of the election is not necessarily the candidate with the most votes.
That is exactly what happened in the election of Donald Trump, who received fewer votes than Hillary Clinton across the country.
So in the end it really makes a difference whether you ask, "Who won the election" or "Who is the
President of the United States
?"

Joe Biden
was ahead of the polls at the beginning of the year and has been able to expand them even further in recent weeks.
Only when it comes to finances does
Donald Trump come up
with similar numbers and is therefore just as valued as Biden.
After the 2020 US election: who is president?
And will there be chaos?
In the event of a tight election result, or even a loss of the election, Donald Trump announced serious decisions in advance.
He could refuse to recognize the result - the
2020 US election
could then be in
chaos
sink because the constitution leaves gaps open.
The focus in the
election campaign
was with both politicians
set slightly different:
Joe Biden | Donald Trump |
---|---|
Fight against racism and discrimination | Tightening of immigration laws |
Economy (building a system that supports working families, small businesses and communities) | Economy (including more jobs) |
Expansion of the health system | Health care (repeal of the entire Obamacare) |
Expansion and strengthening of women's rights | Trade policy (withdrawal from existing trade agreements, etc.) |
Measures against the coronavirus | Joe Biden |
While Joe Biden presents his
election campaign topics
and
government
goals transparently on his own election campaign page, one searches in vain for a concrete election campaign plan on Donald Trump's website.
Will that ultimately affect victory in the US election?
Who won the election?
Will Trump remain president or will he be replaced by Biden?
