SMA News – USA
Joe Biden won Wisconsin’s 10 electoral votes, CBS News projected Wednesday. He held onto a narrow lead of 20,510 votes, a 0.4% edge over President Trump. Wisconsin was one of three states President Trump flipped in 2016 that launched him into the White House, when he won it by a similarly slim margin of 22,748 votes.
The Trump campaign has said it will request a recount.
Absentee ballots cast in Milwaukee County that trickled in early Wednesday morning provided Joe Biden with a narrow lead in the critical swing state. The county is the largest in the state, encompassing the city of Milwaukee. With the ballots from Milwaukee, Biden’s lead in the state widened to around 11,000 votes. By late Wednesday morning his lead had grown to over 20,000.
Mr. Trump made 10 campaign trips to Wisconsin since January 2019. Five came since mid-October. His final stop in Wisconsin was a rally in Kenosha on the night before Election Day. Biden made three trips to the Badger State and was most recently in Milwaukee on Friday night.
