Hello and welcome to our continuing coverage of the US presidential election. As you will have gathered, it’s a close one. Multiple states are still counting ballots and it could be days before we know the result.

We’re waiting on a possible call in the presidential race in Wisconsin, where Biden held a narrow lead with a small number of absentee ballots left to count.

The race currently stands at 238 electoral votes for Biden to 213 for Trump, with six battleground states outstanding. If Biden can hang on to a narrow lead in Nevada, and seal the deal in Wisconsin, a win in Georgia (16 electoral votes), Michigan (16) or Pennsylvania (20) – brings him victory. North Carolina, with 15 electoral votes, is also still out.
