If the President of the United States were elected by direct election, Democrat Joe Biden could already be crowned the next head of state. Preliminary election results show that nearly 74.5 million Americans have voted for him. At least 70.2 million voters have voted for Republican Donald Trump as the current president.
The US electoral system requires a candidate to gain the support of at least 270 members of the Electoral College to become president. The Electoral College is made up of all 50 U.S. states, each delegating a number of electorates. In 48 states, the winner receives all the votes of the electorate. So far, Biden has won 253 electoral votes and Tramps 214.
The vote count continues in six states, but the focus is on five states.
In Pennsylvania, Georgia, Nevada and Arizona, Biden has a small lead. In North Carolina, on the other hand, Trump stands out.
It is enough for Biden to win in Pennsylvania and receive 20 electoral votes to secure a presidential seat. If he loses in Pennsylvania, Biden can win power in the White House in two of the remaining four states.
The tramp must win in Pennsylvania and three of the four remaining states to stay in office for another four years.
Biden on Friday, November 6 addressed his supporters in the evening, expressing confidence in his victory.
The former vice president said the Americans had given him a mandate to fight the coronavirus pandemic, revitalize the economy, fight climate change and racism.
Trump, for his part, continues to claim that there has been a massive falsification of votes in the elections and calls for an end to the counting of votes. He does not intend to admit his possible defeat and is going to sue. Trump’s actions have been criticized not only by his political opponents, but also by some members of the Republican Party.
Television channels and press outlets owned by media mogul Rupert Murdoch also seem to have moved away from Trump, which has so far sympathized with him. For example, Trump’s favorite television channel, Fox News, has criticized the president’s allegations of electoral fraud and called for him to resign with dignity.
CONTEXT:
In the US on Tuesday, November 3, presidential elections took place. Their winner is still unknown. It may take several days or even weeks to find out which of the two main candidates – current President Republican Trump or Democrat Biden – will host the White House for the next four years.
This year, the election results have to wait longer than usual, because during the pandemic, many chose to vote before the official election day and by post. It takes longer to verify the votes cast.
