BREAKING: Trump campaign says it will request recount in Wisconsin politico.com/news/2020/11/0…
President Trump's reelection campaign announced that it would "immediately" request a recount in Wisconsin, as vote totals showed him narrowly trailing Joe Biden with 95 percent of ballots reported politico.com/news/2020/11/0…
"Despite ridiculous public polling used as a voter suppression tactic, Wisconsin has been a razor thin race as we always knew that it would be," Trump campaign manager Bill Stepien said in a statement

politico.com/news/2020/11/0…
Trump won Wisconsin's 10 electoral votes by 1 percentage point in 2016. But Biden now leads Trump in Wisconsin by less than 1 percentage point, with 95 percent of the expected vote tallied, according to the latest totals. politico.com/news/2020/11/0…

The votes are still being counted — slowly.

Our @playbookplus authors say Biden has the upper hand in the battle for the presidency. But this battle will be a multi-front political and legal struggle that could drag on for weeks.

President Trump has demonstrated precisely what his White House and campaign suggested he’d do: He is filing lawsuits, lobbing rhetorical bombshells and trying to stave off defeat politico.com/newsletters/pl…
Here's where we are this A.M.:

The AP has Biden at 264 electoral votes after it put Arizona in his corner — just six short of the presidency. Other media organizations have held off at putting him this close. Trump is warning of “secretly dumped ballots.”

Joe Biden has won Wisconsin's ten electoral votes
politico.com/2020-election/…
Biden just won what might be the most polarized state in the country: Wisconsin. It's the first of three big wins he needs to reach 270. politico.com/news/2020/11/0…
Trump’s victory in the state four years ago was perhaps the most surprising outcome of the 2016 election. No Republican had carried Wisconsin since 1984, and Hillary Clinton didn’t visit the state once during the general election. politi.co/3oYPlGE

Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin — and their 46 electoral votes — vaulted Donald Trump into the White House in 2016.

And once again, they're playing a decisive role in 2020. Here's where vote-counting stands in each of them.
politico.com/news/2020/11/0…
Wisconsin proved to be far more competitive than the Biden campaign — and polls— had projected, partly due to strong turnout in the state's rural counties. As of 11:13 a.m. ET, 95% of the expected vote has been counted. politi.co/2JACiei
In Michigan, 96% of the expected vote is in. The state's top elections official says Michigan's presidential results could be known by the end of the day.
