Neither Donald Trump nor Joe Biden have been declared the winner, but the Trump campaign has called for a recount of votes in Wisconsin as presidential nominee Joe Biden has won the crucial “Rust Belt” state, according to CNN.
Responding to Mr Biden’s clear lead in the state, earlier today on Twitter, Wednesday local time, the Trump campaign account tweeted that there has been “reports of irregularities” in the votes and it would be requesting a recount to dispute Mr Biden’s knife-edge lead.
