FORMER U.S. Vice President Joe Biden took a major step forward in the 2020 presidential election Wednesday with wins in Michigan and Wisconsin, two of the three key battleground states.
Both are typically blue states President Donald Trump flipped from the Democrats in 2016 when he defeated former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
The two wins put Biden on the verge of clinching a victory, even without a decision in the third battleground state of Pennsylvania. But Trump still has a narrow path for a comeback if he can take the smaller states of Arizona and Nevada. Those states will be opening more votes Thursday.
The president’s campaign is calling on the U.S. Supreme Court to halt vote counting in Pennsylvania and is asking for a recount in Wisconsin.
