The counting of the votes in the US now takes several days.
For incumbent Donald Trump there are now hardly any chances of winning the election.
The
2020 US presidential election
between
Donald Trump
and
Joe Biden
is a head-to-head race.
Joe Biden has turned some
swing states
in his favor
in the past few days
.
There is only one way for President Trump to prevent Biden from winning - he needs the states of Pennsylvania and Georgia.
The text is constantly updated.
Update from November 6, 3:32 p.m.:
First
Georgia
, now
Pennsylvania
: Joe Biden overtakes Donald Trump in two important states.
According to
CNN
, Pennsylvania is now 49.4 percent to 49.3 percent, with a 5587 vote difference for Biden.
But the election workers continue to count votes.
Should
Donald Trump
not be able to win either of these two eastern states in the USA, he can no longer
move
into the
White House
as a winner
.
Biden's chances increase further.
US election: Trump sees “theft” of his election victory
First report from November 6th, 1:44 p.m.:
Munich -
Donald Trump
has already declared
himself
the winner early on Wednesday morning while counting some outstanding votes.
The fear that the many
postal voters
would be his undoing was already palpable.
He described the normal counting process, without citing any evidence, as "stealing" his election victory.
God knows you cannot speak of theft, but it is certainly the many postal votes that have turned the
US election
upside down in the last two days.
Challenger Joe Biden
is now turning one
swing state
after the other into the democratic blue.
If Trump spoke of
winning
Pennsylvania *
"with a large amount of votes" on
election night
, Biden was only about 18,000 votes behind on Friday afternoon.
Since it is customary in many countries to count the votes by postal vote according to the votes on the actual election day and these are used by a clear majority of
democratic voters
, the many Biden votes were only added afterwards.
STOP THE COUNT!

Who will be President of the USA?
Joe Biden overtakes Donald Trump in the actual Republican state of Georgia
So it is not as if, as Trump claims, democratic votes are “found” - they are simply counted afterwards.
Accordingly,
Biden was
able to
rotate
the states in the northern "blue wall" of the USA,
Michigan
and
Wisconsin
on Wednesday and Thursday
.
Then there is the
election surprise
, which was confirmed on Friday morning.
This is how Biden
shot
the state of
Georgia
, which, as part of the southern states, has always gone to the
Republicans
in the past six elections
.
If Biden can now maintain his leadership in Georgia, there is no way for Trump
to reach the
270-
electoral
mark
.
Currently standing at 213, the incumbent
US president
needs
16 votes from Georgia and 20 votes from Pennsylvania - if he loses one of the two states, he loses his presidency.
No one is going to take our democracy away from us.
Not now, not ever.
America has come too far, fought too many battles, and endured too much to let that happen.

2020 US election: Joe Biden only has to win Pennslyvania to become president - who will win?
If Biden also catches up in Pennsylvania, where many of the outstanding votes
come from the democratic region around the city of
Philadelphia
,
according to the experts at
CNN
, he exceeds the magic number of 270 - currently he stands at 253. A victory in Georgia would take Biden only has one state on his side.
Also outstanding are the states of
Alaska
(three electoral votes),
Arizona
(eleven electoral votes),
Nevada
(six electoral votes) and
North Carolina
(15 electoral votes).
While Trump is clearly
leading
in Alaska and just under
North Carolina
, Biden is ahead in Arizona with around one and a half percent.
In Nevada, too, the race is currently very close to the Democratic candidate.
As with Trump's election victory in 2016, he currently has fewer “pure votes” than his competitor.
Already in the election campaign against
Hillary Clinton
, with 65,853,516 voters, more people voted for Clinton than the later president, who only came to 62,984,825 but was able to win because of the system.
In 2020 Joe Biden has 73,496,027 votes and Trump "only" 69,631,958 (as of November 6, 2:15 pm).
