The 74-year-old said in remarks from the White House “This is a fraud on the American public. This is an embarrassment to this country. We were getting ready to win this election. Frankly we did win this election,”.
Democratic party leader Mr. Biden said he was “on track” to victory, while Mr. Trump, a Republican, claimed “a big win”.
I will be making a statement tonight. A big WIN!

The US is heading for a historic election with the voter turnout indicating the largest participation in a century.
The latest tally of early voting in the US shows that almost 102 million Americans cast their votes before Election Day, meaning the 2020 presidential election will be the first in history in which more people vote in advance of election day than on it.
The winner of the election is determined through a system called the electoral college. Each of the 50 states, plus Washington DC, is given a number of electoral college votes, adding up to a total of 538 votes. More populous states get more electoral college votes than smaller ones.
A candidate needs to win 270 electoral college votes (50% plus one) to win the election.
In every state except two – Maine and Nebraska – the candidate that gets the most votes to win all of the state’s electoral college votes.
WE ARE LOOKING REALLY GOOD ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. THANK YOU!

Some 239 million people are eligible to vote this year. The mail-in ballots could take days or weeks to be counted in some states, meaning a winner might not be declared in the hours after polls close across the US at different times Tuesday, anywhere before 9 pm local time.
Democrats are favoured to emerge from 14 hotly contested U.S. Senate races with full control of Congress in Tuesday’s election, but final results from at least five of those contests may not be available for days, and in some cases, months.
