Democrat Joe Biden says he feels “very good” about the outcome of the US presidential election and is telling his supporters to “stay calm” as votes continue to be counted.
Biden delivered brief remarks today at a theatre in downtown Wilmington, Delaware. He says, "It is the will of the voters — no one, not anyone else — who chooses the president of the United States of America.”
President Donald Trump’s campaign has pursued legal efforts to halt the vote counting in some states and is seeking a recount in Wisconsin.
“There’s not a great deal of logic behind that message,” TVNZ’s Q+A host said of Trump supporters calling for a stop to vote counting in states where Biden currently leads. (Source: Other)
Biden says that “the process is working” and “we’ll know very soon” the outcome of the election. Biden and his top campaign officials have expressed confidence about the vote but have been careful to emphasise the need for every ballot to be counted.
Biden's running mate, California Sen. Kamala Harris, stood next to him as he spoke.
The Associated Press has not called the presidential race yet because neither Biden nor Trump has secured the 270 electoral college votes needed for victory. Several key states remain too early to call — Pennsylvania, Georgia, North Carolina and Nevada.
