New York:
The state is high stakes for both the Trump and Joe Biden camps. It's one of the three states Trump flipped in 2016 with a less than one point margin.
Taken together, Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania could prove crucial in determining who wins the White House.
In Wisconsin, if a race is within 1 percentage point, the candidate who is behind can ask for a recount.
Trump's campaign manager Bill Stepien said in a statement: "The President is well within the threshold to request a recount and we will immediately do so."
In the race to the 270 electoral votes needed to win, Biden has 238 while Trump has 213.
