Democratic White House candidate Joe Biden snatched key status from
Wisconsin to President Donald Trump, who had won it in 2016, according to projections from The New York Times, NPR and CNN.
Minute by minute: Closed final in US: Biden, 248 electoral votes; Trump wears 213
With the 10 delegates it grants Wisconsin, Biden has at least 248 delegates in the Electoral College, compared to the 214 he has accumulated Trump, in their common goal of reaching the 270 that give the victory.
Of interest: Biden beats Trump in Michigan, key state in the elections
Wisconsin is, after Arizona, the second state that Biden snatches from Trump with respect to the 2016 results. In addition, the Democrat has also removed the president’s second district from Nebraska, granted by a single delegate.
According to the provisional tally, Biden won in Wisconsin by a slim margin of 20,510 votes, 49.4% to 48.8%, so the Trump campaign has already called for a recount.
As the margin is less than 1%, Trump has the right to request that recount although he will have to cover its cost of 3 million dollars out of pocket.
Also: What’s the ballot situation in the 6 key US states?
Although Biden approaches with the 10 delegates from Wisconsin to the White House, he has yet to win in at least two of the five key states where scrutiny is ongoing: Michigan, Nevada, Georgia, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania.
For now, the former vice president is leading the way in Michigan and Nevada, two states that would give him the exact number of 270 delegates needed to win the election.
Nevada, however, has already announced that it will not deliver results until this Thursday, while the Biden campaign warned that it hopes to claim victory this Wednesday, so the Democrats can have their eyes on Georgia.
Also: Biden’s campaign ensures that today he will be able to declare victory
Wisconsin was one of three Midwestern states along with Michigan and Pennsylvania that Trump won by surprise and narrowly in 2016 paving his way to the White House. Earlier, Wisconsin had voted Democrat in the previous seven presidential elections.
