바이든 경합주 위스콘신 미시간 역전…피말리는 러스트벨트 승부
A day has passed since Americans finished casting their ballots for the 2020 U.S. election,...
Several key swings states are still up for grabs,... where U.S. President Donald Trump and his Democratic rival Joe Biden are running extremely close.
To get a check on the latest tallies, we turn to our Lee Kyung-eun.
Kyung-eun, how are things shaping up?
Mok-yeon, some states are still counting their final results.
It's taking longer than usual,... due to an unprecedented amount of mail-in ballots which take longer to process.
But right now, both candidates are getting closer to the majority of the electoral votes needed to win.
As of 6:30 AM Korea Time,... Biden is ahead of Trump by 40 electoral votes.
The gap is bigger now,... after Biden FLIPPED Michigan,... about 30 minutes ago.
Earlier in the day, he also turned Wisconsin,... another rust-belt state,... "blue".
So Biden is on course for re-building the so-called "blue wall",... that Trump smashed in 2016.
Biden is also slightly leading in Arizona too.
Trump, on the other hand, is leading in North Carolina and Pennsylvania.
Today, we will be closely looking at Pennsylvania.
Biden still needs to win there,... as Trump has taken a big sunbelt state Florida.
But we'll have to be patient,..as the state has warned that the final tally may not come out until Friday.
Nevada where Biden is winning could also be a tipping point state,... as it could help Biden pass the majority.
So far, more than 1-hundred-59 million Americans cast their ballots the highest in a century.
Back to you Mok-yeon.
