Wafer-thin margins separate Biden and Trump

November 05, 2020 20:14

It's Thursday morning in the United States and the race for the White House is still too close to call.

As votes continue to come in, former Vice President Joe Biden has edged closer to the 270-electoral-vote threshold needed to win the presidency, but razor-thin margins separate him from President Donald Trump in key battleground states.

The final outcome hinged on a handful of states on Thursday where a flood of mail-in ballots triggered by the raging coronavirus pandemic remained to be counted.

In the US election, voters decide state-level contests rather than a single, national one.

Each US state gets a certain number of Electoral College votes partly based on the size of the population, with a total of 538 up for grabs.
