Although the results of the presidential elections in the United States are still unknown, the figures indicate, according to Democratic candidate Joe Biden, that he is going to win. Biden called on Americans in a speech on Saturday to be patient again and to wait until all votes have been counted.

“We’re going to win by a clear majority,” Biden said in a speech from his home town of Wilmington, Delaware.
The presidential candidate pointed out that he was still behind in the states of Georgia and Pennsylvania a day ago, but that he is now on track to win in those states.
“With the gains from Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin, we have the ‘blue wall‘restored. Counting is slow, but we must remember that it is not just numbers. Those voices represent people who make their voices heard. And they will be heard. “
The 77-year-old presidential candidate currently has 253 electors behind him. His opponent, the current president Donald Trump, has 214. A minimum of 270 of the 538 electors is needed to win.
All eyes on Pennsylvania rash
The wait is mainly for the results in Pennsylvania, which is seen as a crucial state. If Biden takes the win here, he can put twenty electors to his name and he has enough behind him to call himself the new president of the United States.
However, Trump’s chances have not yet been lost: if Republican president Georgia and Pennsylvania win, he will still remain in the race. To serve one more term as president, Trump would have to get the most votes in two of the three remaining states – North Carolina, Arizona and Nevada.
