Trump and Biden

President Donald Trump and his Democratic challenger, Joe Biden are still  hopeful of winning Tuesday’s United States presidential election as counting of the ballots are still ongoing in many battleground states which analysts believe hold the key to the White House.

Biden said early Wednesday that “we believe we’re on track to win this election.”

His hopes lie in emerging victorious in states like Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan, where the ballots are still being tallied.

“It ain’t over till every vote is counted,” Biden said
