International Desk: In front of supporters in Wilmington, Delaware, Democrat candidate Joe Biden says he believes he is on the verge of winning the election.

We knew it would be longer than we knew, we knew, maybe we would have to wait until morning, or even longer. But our position so far is satisfactory. Today I have come to tell you, we are on the way to victory in this election.

Biden called on everyone to wait patiently until all votes were counted.

# At least 260 out of 538 electoral votes must be confirmed to be elected President of the United States

# Counting is underway in many eastern and central states after the polls. However, due to time difference, voting is still going on in many states.

# Republican candidate President Donald Trump and Democrat candidate Joe Biden have won in the states where their votes ended early. That is why the focus is now on the 'swing' states that have played a role as regulators in determining victory and defeat.

More than 100 million votes were cast in this election amid the #coronavirus epidemic. It is expected that this year's election will see the highest turnout in more than a century. Some states may be late in counting votes

# 74-year-old Donald Trump is fighting to avoid defeat in the re-election. The last time George HW Bush lost a run-off election was in 1992

# A booth return poll found that four out of 10 voters are dissatisfied with coronavirus treatment, but the country's economy is paramount in voting decisions.
