Biden Takes Lead In Michigan And Wisconsin Campaign ‘Confident’ About

Democratic candidate Joe Biden is facing increasingly encouraging electoral vote prospects as absentee ballots continue to be counted in key states, with his campaign projecting confidence on Wednesday that results will come in both favorably and swiftly – but the Trump campaign pushed back on the notion mail-in ballots will favor Biden. If the race hinges on the Trump campaign requesting a recount in Wisconsin, it’s unlikely to reap their desired results. Biden currently leads in the state by more than 20,000 vote, where as the 2016 Wisconsin recount netted Trump just 131 votes. Trump incorrectly claimed victory on Wednesday morning based on his now-dwindled leads in uncalled races. In a sign of his lack of faith in his chances when all mail-in votes are counted, Trump announced he would attempt to bring a lawsuit before the Supreme Court in an effort to block further mail-in votes from being counted.“If the president makes good on his threat to go to court to try to prevent the proper tabulation of votes, we have legal teams standing by ready to deploy to resist that effort. And they will prevail,” Biden campaign manager Jen O’Malley Dillon said Wednesday morning. Biden won in Arizona, where a Democrat hasn’t won since Bill Clinton in 1996, and Nebraska’s 2nd district, where Democrats haven’t won since Barack Obama in 2008, giving him an already larger number of electoral votes than Hillary Clinton in 2016. The Times’ Nate Cohn estimates that, if current trends with mail-in votes continue, Biden will finish with a 2-point victory in Pennsylvania.
