The Trump campaign, however, has already requested a recount in Wisconsin and filed legal challenges in Michigan, Georgia and Pennsylvania, making it increasingly unlikely that there will be a clear victor by Thursday. Biden has said he is on pace to secure victory but has stopped short of declaring the contest over. Trump, on the other hand, said that he had won the election after results showed him leading in battleground states. He claims that Biden\u2019s comeback in several states, purportedly fueled by mail-in and absentee votes, is fraudulent.<\/p>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rt.com\/usa\/505683-arizona-biden-fox-ap-trump-results\/\">https:\/\/www.rt.com\/usa\/505683-arizona-biden-fox-ap-trump-results\/<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jumped the gun?
