President Donald Trump early Wednesday said he expected a “big win” and accused Democrats of trying to “steal” the election after rival Joe Biden predicted victory.

The 2020 election has come down to a few key swing states including the rust belt states of Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin, as well as Trump heartland in Georgia.

We are up BIG, but they are trying to STEAL the Election. We will never let them do it. Votes cannot be cast after the Polls are closed!

President Trump tweeted not long after Mr Biden got off stage that he is “up big”.

“We are up BIG, but they are trying to STEAL the Election,” Trump wrote on Twitter moments after Biden told supporters he expected to win.

I will be making a statement tonight. A big WIN!

“We will never let them do it. Votes cannot be cast after the Poles are closed!”

Twitter hid the post under a warning describing the post as misleading, citing its ‘civic integrity policy’, though the tweet is still online.
