Although the results of the presidential elections in the United States are not yet known, the figures indicate that he will win, according to Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden. Biden in a speech on Saturday called on Americans once again to be patient and to wait for all votes to be counted.

“We are going to win by a clear majority,” said Biden in a speech from his hometown of Wilmington, Delaware.
The presidential candidate pointed out that he was still behind in the states of Georgia and Pennsylvania a day ago and that he is now on his way to an election win in those states.
“We have restored the blue wall by winning Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin. Counting is slow, but we must remember that they are not just numbers. Those votes represent people making their voices heard. And they will being heard.”
The 77-year-old presidential candidate currently has 253 electors, his opponent and current President Donald Trump 214. A minimum of 270 of the 538 electors is needed to win.
All eyes on Pennsylvania rash
The wait is mainly for the results of Pennsylvania, which is seen as a crucial state. If Biden takes the win here, he can put 20 electors to his name and he has reached enough electors to be able to call himself the new president of the United States.
However, Donald Trump’s chances have not yet been lost: if Republican President Georgia and Pennsylvania win, he will still remain in the race. To serve one more term as president, Trump would have to get the most votes in two of the three remaining states of North Carolina, Arizona and Nevada.
