Biden expects to win and pledges to unify the country ... and Trump turns to court

Democrat Joe Biden expected victory over President Donald Trump in the US elections after winning the pivotal Midwest states of Wisconsin and Michigan, while the Republican president spoke of fraud, lodged judicial complaints and demanded a recount.

Biden did not go so far as to announce his victory, but he launched a website to transform into a White House led by Democrats, which his team called "Buildback Better" (rebuilding for the better), and the site said, "The Biden / Harris administration is ready to work from day one."

While Trump spent part of Wednesday broadcasting his grievance on Twitter, Biden pledged to unite the country if he wins the election.

"What brings us together as Americans is much stronger than anything that can divide us," said Biden, who appeared on Wednesday with vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris in Delaware.

And until the moment, without counting Wisconsin, which Trump requested a recount, Edison Research Center says that Biden is ahead of Trump in the electoral college votes by obtaining 243 to 213 votes for Trump.

And television networks expected Biden, 77, a former vice president who has worked for five years in public life, to win Midwest Wisconsin and Michigan, which was a major boost to his hopes of entering the White House on January 20.

Trump, 74, who won both terms in the 2016 election, has fewer chances of securing a second four-year term.

He hopes that he will not become the first American president to lose a second term since George Bush Senior in 1992.

Trump has long sought to discredit the vote if he loses.

Since Tuesday, he has spoken of his victory, accusing Democrats of trying to steal the elections, without citing evidence of that, and pledging to file lawsuits in some states.

US election experts say fraud is extremely rare.

The Trump campaign has struggled to keep his chances of winning, demanding a recount in Wisconsin and lawsuits filed in Michigan and Pennsylvania to halt the vote count.

Jocelyn Benson, Michigan's secretary of state, called the Trump campaign lawsuit against the state "frivolous".

The Trump campaign has also filed a lawsuit in Georgia to demand that Chatham County, which includes Savannah, separate late-arriving votes to ensure they are not counted.

The campaign also asked the Supreme Court to allow Trump to join a lawsuit filed by Republicans in Pennsylvania regarding whether the state is entitled to accept late-arrival votes.

In its entirety, Trump's legal maneuvers appear to be an effort to challenge the results of an unresolved election, a day after millions of Americans went to the polls during the Corona virus pandemic that turned daily life upside down.

As Trump sought to stop the counting in states he feared losing, the president criticized media organizations that expected him to lose, in Arizona and Nevada, two states he expected to win.

He wrote on Twitter of his concern about the mail vote.

"They find Biden's voices everywhere ... in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan. Very bad for our country," he wrote in a tweet.

Biden said, "Every vote must be counted. Nobody will take our democracy from us, neither now nor at any time."

Voting ended as scheduled on Tuesday evening, but it usually takes days to complete the vote count in many states.

There has been an increase in mail polls nationwide due to the epidemic.

Still other hotly contested states, such as Arizona, Nevada, Georgia and North Carolina, are still counting the ballots, which means that the nationwide election result has yet to be decided.

The impact of the epidemic

This tension and disagreement comes after an election campaign overshadowed by violent brawls amid a virus pandemic that has killed more than 233,000 Americans and made millions lose their jobs.

The country has also gone through tumultuous months of protests against racism and police brutality.

The United States recorded a record of daily new cases of the emerging coronavirus on Wednesday, with at least 102,591 new infections being detected, and hospitals in several states reported an increase in the number of patients, according to a Reuters count.

Supporters of both candidates expressed their anger, frustration and fear in light of the unclear date for the election result.

In Pennsylvania, Trump's lead fell to about 164,000 votes, as officials counted millions of mail-order ballots that many believed would likely benefit Biden.

Trump's campaign manager Bill Stephen described the president as the winner in Pennsylvania, although state officials have not finished counting the votes.

Biden said he feels "very comfortable" about his chances in Pennsylvania.

And in the nationwide popular vote, Biden made a comfortable lead today, Wednesday, with nearly 3.5 million votes.

Trump defeated Democrat Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election after winning crucial states, even though she garnered about three million additional votes nationwide.

And legal experts have warned that the elections may falter amid legal calls in the states over a range of issues, including whether the state was entitled to count late-mail votes.

Each candidate prepared a team of lawyers to handle any disputes.

If Biden wins, he will face a fierce battle for rule in light of the now almost certain Republican control of the Senate, which is likely to stall many of the bills on the legislative agenda, which include expanding health care and combating climate change.
