The counting of the votes for the US presidential election 2020 is far from over.

Traditionally, it is the "swing states" that again tip the scales when determining the winner.

Joe Biden

won the counts in key states like New Hampshire and Minnesota, while Democrats predict a similar success for Pennsylvania.

He was then confident: He was "on track to win this election," said the 77-year-old to supporters in Delaware.

Later he was able to take over the traditionally conservative Arizona.

2020 US election: decision between Donald Trump and Joe Biden is expected on Thursday

By Friday at the latest, it should be clear in Europe who will act as US President in the future.

If

way, this is already certain: “We have won this election,” the incumbent said from Washington, although the outcome of the election is not at all clear in reality.

Rather, the 74-year-old senses “fraud against the nation” in the US election and announced: “We will go to the Supreme Court.

We want all voting to end. "

What are these statements based on?

It is presumably about the counting in various states, where Trump determines a "magical" shrinking of his lead, even though a solid lead previously existed (more on this in the previous ticker).

in the result.

Last night I was leading, often solidly, in many key States, in almost all instances Democrat run & controlled.

Then, one by one, they started to magically disappear as surprise ballot dumps were counted.

VERY STRANGE, and the “pollsters” got it completely & historically wrong!

Nonetheless, there is still a chance of re-election as US President *.

But it is already becoming apparent that the US president will again be able to collect fewer votes than his democratic adversary, as in 2016.
