One of the central questions regarding the interim results of the US election is: who is ahead in the contested states?
The US election is traditionally decided
in so-called “swing states”, ie the
US states
in which a clear electoral tendency in favor of the Democrats or Republicans cannot be recognized from the outset.

Georgia
,
Michigan
and
Pennsylvania he
tried to stop the
counting of the votes
, in
Wisconsin he
wants to force a recount of the votes.
STOP THE COUNT!

Biden would recapture two states, Michigan and Wisconsin, which in 2016 the Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton surprisingly lost to Trump.

five states
that
have not yet been decided
.
Here
Alaska is
considered safe for Trump.
In
Nevada
, Biden's supporters were counting on victory, but the race turned out to be a lot closer than expected.
