LIVE updates of the 2020 United States presidential election result. Democratic Party candidate Joe Biden is taking on Republican Party’s nominee President Donald Trump. Early results are pouring in from states were polls have closed.
US Election 2020 LIVE Updates: In-person voting is underway across the United States. But, early results are starting to pour in from states where polling has closed. Democratic Party candidate and former vice president Joe Biden is taking on Republican Party’s nominee and incumbent President Donald Trump. California Senator Kamala Harris and Vice President Mike Pence are their respective running mates. Voters were urged to vote early, especially through mail-in ballots, to avoid queues amid the coronavirus pandemic. More than 101 million early votes have been cast. Additionally, about 26.8 million mail ballots are yet to be returned to polling authorities. As a result, over 100 million votes would have been cast and recorded even before the Election Day. Voters had already cast more than 73 percent of the total votes counted in the 2016 presidential election, even before Election Day. But counting of mail ballots is more laborious and that may delay the result.
