2020 U.S. election

The Democrats have won the popular vote in border counties four elections in a row, but Trump made regional inroads from sea to sea—even as he lost his bid for re-election

The president-elect of the United States addressed viewers and supporters in Wilmington, Delaware. Here is the full transcript of his remarks.

Shannon Proudfoot: With his election loss, Trump’s rule by chaos is drawing to a close. And with it our role as unwilling audience members in his drama.

Paul Wells: The crises are stacked up outside the Oval Office. Biden’s advantage will be knowing that nothing will be given to him simply because he’s a fresh face.

The vice-president and his running mate will be addressing the nation as votes continue to be counted in the 2020 U.S. presidential election

As votes were counted in battleground states, Biden addressed the nation: ‘Once this election is finalized and behind us, it’ll be time for us to do what we’ve always done as Americans…to see each other again, to listen to one another.’

Paul Wells: Wednesday’s market rallies amount to a bet that a Democrat president and a Republican Senate will guarantee nothing changes in America

Democrat dreams of wielding triple-threat power in Washington are all but dashed

On U.S. Election Day 2, some big questions loom: Is a tie possible? Which candidate has more paths to victory? And where will the legal battles happen?

In an early-morning address, Donald Trump made baseless claims of major fraud — “we’ll be going to the Supreme Court,” he said. “We want all voting to stop.”

Ahead of a final election result, the former vice-president told supporters he’s confident about Wisconsin and Michigan and expects to win Pennsylvania

Biden is now leading in Georgia and poised to pip Trump in Pennsylvania—stunning turnabouts that draw him within a whisker of victory
