Good morning. The fate of the United States presidency hung in the balance Wednesday morning, as President Donald Trump and Democratic challenger Joe Biden battled for three familiar battleground states — Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania — that could prove crucial in determining who wins the White House. A late burst of votes in Wisconsin from Milwaukee gave Biden a small lead, but it was too early to call the race. Hundreds of thousands of votes were also outstanding in Michigan and Pennsylvania. In Minnesota: Biden kept the state blue. Sen. Smith returns to Washington and Rep. Peterson lost in the 7th. Still undecided as of this morning: Races in Minnesota's 1st and 2nd congressional districts, where incumbents Republican Jim Hagedorn (1st) and Democrat Angie Craig (2nd) hold narrow leads. Control of the Minnesota Senate remains up in the air, with several close races not yet decided. In some pivotal legislative contests, candidates from the Grassroots-Legalize Party and Legal Marijuana Now Party are netting notable vote tallies. Trump falsely claimed victory in an early morning speech from the White House and suggested possible legal challenges to stop vote counting. Biden's campaign called Trump's statement "outrageous, unprecedented, and incorrect." |
