2:17:29Now Playing(Nov. 4) Watch live as Democratic Presidential Nominee Joe Biden makes an address from Wilmington, Delaware, as the tight presidential race continues, on Wednesday, November 4, 2020.
Biden won Wisconsin, according to the Associated Press, offering him a clearer path to defeat President Donald Trump.
The win gives Biden a total of 248 electoral votes to Trump’s 214, leaving both shy of the 270 needed to secure immediate victories.
Biden’s Wisconsin victory reverses Trump’s upset in 2016, when he became the first Republican presidential nominee to win the state since 1984, defeating Hillary Clinton by less than 30,000 votes. Biden leads in Wisconsin with 20,517 votes.
Trump’s campaign said it would demand a recount of the state, where the candidates were less than 1 percentage point apart.
Biden also has a narrow lead in Michigan with the presidential race hanging in the balance for a second day. Biden led there by 32,000 votes of about 5 million cast.
Biden’s campaign said it expects to declare victory Wednesday afternoon, sooner than many expected based on delayed counts in battlegrounds, including Pennsylvania. Biden plans to address Americans later in the day, the campaign said.
Election officials continued to count votes in several battleground states as Democrats, whose expectations for a “blue wave” were dashed, hoped to scrape together enough for a win and Republicans searched for a path for Trump to squeeze out a victory.
Trump tweeted throughout the morning casting doubt on the count of mail-in ballots, which were heavily Democratic, after the Election Day in-person votes were counted, which leaned Republican.
“How come every time they count Mail-In ballot dumps they are so devastating in their percentage and power of destruction,” the president said on Twitter. Another tweet mused about his leads “magically” disappearing in states run by Democratic governors.
