A recount in one crucial battleground state. And the military escalation in northern ethiopia d as tensions between the government and local groups threaten to spill across the border. Its 19 g. M. T. Thats 2 pm in the eastern United States and the race for the white house is still too close to call the results from 7 states are still outstanding and most could go either way while counting polls for the night in some states wisconsin has continued thats where we are expecting results to come from next in the last hour the Trump Campaign announced it will request the recount there were also expecting to hear from trumps democratic challenger joe biden soon hes urging his supporters to be patient insisting he is on track for victory well this is how the race is stands at the moment a winner will only be confirmed when they reach 270. 00 Electoral College votes hundreds of thousands of ballots still need to be counted with results unclear in the key battleground states of michigan georgia
That is whats creating the false atmosphere of legitimacy to his claim. Let me go to Kristen Welker right now who has a little more insight into the counting in pennsylvania. Kristen .

Eastern time and 15 hours after the last polls closed in the president ial election the result is still on a knife edge but it seems it could be tilting the way of former Vice President joe biden and his Democratic Party is due to speak at any minute and these are live pictures from wilmington delaware well take you there a soon as he starts but dont trump is definitely not about to concede hes not showing a string of legal attacks or disputing ballots and challenging results biden has moved closer in the past hour to the magic total of 270. 00 votes for the white house adding the 10 Electoral College seats in the state of wisconsin.
