US election votes are still being counted with many remaining votes being absentee ballots. This acts in favour of Democratic candidate Joe Biden who encouraged his voters to vote by mail and acts to the detriment of Donald Trump who was an outspoken critic of mail-in voting and discouraged his supporters from voting this way.
The latest data has Biden turning tide in Wisconsin as he is now seen winning this state (99% of votes already counted). Moreover, Biden starts to catch up in Michigan as well (20% of votes left to count). Winning these two states will put him on track to securing a 4-year term at the White House. However, in order to do this, he will also need to retain his lead in Nevada.
