The Senate is in the hands of the Republicans
It is unknown at this time what he will do after leaving the post. Democrats' attempts to take control of the Senate from Republicans have failed again.
In addition to the US presidential election on Tuesday, elections were held for 35 seats in the Senate and 435 seats in the House of Representatives.
As of Tuesday, Republicans had a 53-46 majority in the Senate. Democrats were hoping to regain control of the Senate by winning at least four seats from them. They won two seats but lost another seat.
But Democrats still have a majority in the House of Representatives. Democrats are leading in 205 seats and Republicans in 190, according to the New York Times.
To win a majority in the lower house of Congress, a party has to win at least 217 of the 435 seats in the House of Representatives.
If Biden wins in the end, he will have to rule the country with a divided Congress. Many of his initiatives, even if approved by the House of Representatives, could get stuck in a Republican-controlled Senate.

The results of several important states are yet to come, so the United States is still waiting for the final announcement. Democrat candidate Joe Biden, however, said he was "winning" the election. And that's why he has started preparing.
Joe Biden's Transition website has already been launched, dubbed 'Build Back Better'. It says the United States is going through a severe crisis, from an epidemic to an economic recession, from climate change to racial inequality.
"Our transition team will be fully prepared so that the Biden-Harris administration can remain active from day one."
Whatever the outcome of the vote, his term will begin in January. As is customary, when a candidate wins the presidential election, he or she forms a transition team to prepare for the official takeover.

Lawsuit from Trump's campaign camp
President Trump's campaign has filed a lawsuit in Georgia demanding a halt to the vote count. These states are being considered as battlegrounds.
Trump's campaign camp alleges that postal ballots that arrive before 7pm on election day in Georgia are the rules for counting. But postal ballots arriving later than scheduled in Chatham County have also been taken into account.
In Georgia, 95 percent of the vote has already been counted, and Trump is ahead of Biden by a very narrow margin.
Earlier, similar lawsuits were filed in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan from Trump's campaign camp.
Biden has already been predicted to win in Wisconsin and Michigan.
And in Pennsylvania, Republicans have appealed against the government's decision to count postal ballots three days after the vote. There are still millions of votes left to be counted.

Depending on the results of those states, there may be different results for the two candidates.

Fear of being late to get results
Due to time constraints, polling will end at one time in each of the 50 states in the United States. Voting ends at 7:00 pm local time in many centers in the states of Indiana (11 electoral votes) and Kentucky (8). Voting ended in Georgia (18), South Carolina (9), Vermont (3) and Virginia.
The results of the US presidential election usually take place on election night. In 2016, Donald Trump came to the victory stage at around 3 pm local time in New York and addressed the cheering supporters.
However, in the case of the epidemic coronavirus, this election situation is different than other times. Officials have already expressed fears that it could take days or even weeks to get the results. The reason for this, they said, is that the poster ballot is much higher.
This year, more than 100 million American voters cast their ballots in advance by post, a new record in the country's history. Due to the Kovid-19 epidemic, the number of votes by post has increased mainly to avoid crowds.
The postal vote count takes more time as it has to go through the verification and selection process to check the issues like voter signature and address.
Preliminary preparations for the vote count have been completed in several states, such as Florida and Ohio, where the process began just days before the election. In these states, the name of the winner can be found on the night of the election.
However, in other states, such as Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, the process of verifying votes in advance has not begun.
At the end of the postal vote count, the result of the direct vote may change in many places. Many believe that the Democratic candidate Biden's weight will be heavier in the early elections.
That's why election officials say the preliminary results may not be available before the full vote count.
It is too late to get the results of other votes this year. An analysis by the Washington Post found that elections in 23 states were delayed by an average of four days since mid-March.
And after the last presidential election in 2000, we had to wait a long time for the results. A month later, Republican candidate George W. Bush defeated Democrat candidate Al Gore in a court of law.

However, Trump may have spent 43 43 million more on digital advertising than his rival, it said. But in the last week of the campaign, Biden surpassed Trump in a Facebook ad that encouraged people to vote.
In addition, Biden has spent more on advertising in battleground states such as Pennsylvania, Arizona and Michigan.

Trump or Biden like women?
Photo: Reuters
Republican candidate Donald Trump put women on the shelf in the 2016 election. Although rival Hillary Clinton is the first female presidential candidate in US history, Trump has the support of more than 50 percent of white women.
But after four years, has he been able to retain the support of women? The BBC spoke to two female voters to find the answer to that question.
Biden prefers Bessie Clark, who immigrated to the United States from Honduras
Asked if women were influencing the decision to vote, she said: "Of course. As a woman I would never vote for someone like Donald Trump who continues to disrespect women.
"I will be very aware of who I will vote for and see that they are trying to protect women's rights and ensure equal pay, and that women are considered worthy of strong and powerful positions.
"I think Trump has really underestimated that."
Small businessman Taylor Golden is Trump's choice
Asked if women were influencing the voting process, she said, "No. I know some women who didn't want to vote for Trump because of his past. I am so grateful that I have not been considered in the past. I am not 'perfect'.
"In the past, he may have spoken or acted 'sexist' and he may not have been invited to your dinner. But he is the best president this country has ever seen.
“Vote for policy, not individuals. No one is above error. We cannot be hypocritical on the question of the future of the nation. Now is the time to be logical, impartial and honest. ”

What could happen
The count will begin at the end of the vote on Tuesday evening, and it may be the last night for Americans to get the results. Those who are asleep then, waking up in the morning can see three types of headlines through the news. The BBC's North America correspondent John Sopelle analyzes the matter.
In his words, he would not be surprised at all if any one of these three possible scenarios happened.
1. Joe Biden's easy victory: That means Democrat candidate Joe Biden will easily win the polls.
2. Trump's surprise victory again: In that case, all public opinion polls will be proved wrong like in 2016. Donald Trump will be elected president for a second term. If this possibility is true, the results of the Pennsylvania and Florida polls will be significant.
3. Biden's huge victory: The possibility of Joe Biden winning the election by a wide margin is not being ruled out. Ronald Reagan won against Jimmy Carter in 1970 or George W. Bush against Michael Dukakis in 1986.
Of course, there is another possibility to keep in mind, says John Sopelle.
The 'Winner's Tax All' rule does not apply in Nebraska when it comes to counting electoral college votes. Electoral is divided in proportion to the votes received there.
If in the end it happens that both the candidates got 269 electoral votes, then the goal will be scored. Of course, that never happened.

President Donald Trump predicted his 'huge victory' in the election campaign. The Marbin media had been expressing fears that he could claim victory before the right result came and that it could lead to complications. But on election day, Trump said a little differently.
In a telephone interview on the Fox and Friends television show, he said he would declare himself the winner only when victory came.
"There is no reason to play with it. I see a very good chance of winning here. I don't know how they calculate the possibilities."

A pollster is sure Trump will win
If Donald Trump is re-elected president of the United States, at least one pollster will be able to say, "We said it before."
The Robert Cahley-led Trafalgar group has been saying since the beginning of this year that Republican candidate Trump has always been in a fighting position in the states identified as 'battlegrounds'. Democrat candidate Joe Biden has sometimes gone even further.
But other surveying agencies are coming up with information that Biden is consistently ahead in those states.
They did not disclose how the Trafalgar group conducted the survey. Many others have expressed doubts about the results of their survey. However, the Republican 'strategist' Kahali can remind them of 2016.
The Trafalgar Group started publishing the information of the public opinion poll for the first time in that election of 2016. And there was prediction of Trump's victory, which ultimately resulted.
Even Trump's and Hillary Clinton's electoral margin in that election would be 307-228, and Trafalgar's prediction came true. In some states, however, there was little change in the number of Trump votes.

When will the final result match?
This year, nearly 100 million American voters cast their ballots in advance by post, a new record in the country's history. Due to the Kovid-19 epidemic, the number of votes by post has increased mainly to avoid crowds.
As such, half of the total registered voters can go to the booth and vote on Tuesday. As a result, victory or defeat may not be determined by the number of votes cast in the booth. But for those who voted by post, it may take a few more days for the battle papers to arrive and the count to end on Tuesday.
That's why Republicans could be ahead of states like Pennsylvania in preliminary results on election day. Those on the selection map are marked with 'red color'.
In Pennsylvania, ballot papers sent by post three days after polling day will be accepted. And since Democrats voted more by post, the election map, which turned 'red' on the first day, could gradually turn blue. Democrats are shown in blue on the map.
Electoral experts say the opposite could happen in states like Florida and North Carolina. Because, in those two states, the counting of ballot papers received by post has started from the day before the election. So the blue map could turn red on polling day.
All in all, there is uncertainty about when the final results will be available.

Go to court?
With a record number of postal votes, a massive polarization of the electorate, or a hint of the US media's readiness to prepare judges for the Supreme Court, the fight for a new president could eventually be fought in court.
In either case, the outcome of a 'battleground' state is equal or the hair amount differs, but both parties can go to court.
Republican candidate President Donald Trump has said before that he may not accept the verdict if he loses the election. If necessary, you can go to the high court. He has also made preparations for this.
In states where the battle for votes will be fierce, Trump may try to persuade Republican lawmakers to approve party electors based on the results of early voting. Then when more ballots are counted, incidentally Biden's victory in the same state may also be confirmed.
In that case, the Congress can determine the dialectical position of the electors of both the parties and as a result the victory or defeat.
Only once in the 140-year history of presidential elections in the United States has a court determined the final winner. In 2000, Republican candidate George W. Bush defeated Democrat Al Gore in a court of law.
Al Gore went to the Supreme Court of Florida with a request to recount the vote. After losing in court, Al Gore conceded defeat in the election.
This time, Trump is definitely ahead when the vote fight goes to court. The Conservatives have a majority of 6: 3 out of nine judges of the United States Supreme Court.
Conservatives have gained a two-fold majority since the latest confirmation of Trump's favorite candidate, Amy Connie Barrett, on October 28. Of those six, three were re-appointed by Trump.
However, election experts are not looking at the matter so easily. "Some of the president's statements seem to suggest that he will go to the Supreme Court and ask who won, and the Supreme Court will give a verdict," said one such advocate. But the matter is not so simple. The Supreme Court does not deal with important issues like elections. ”

The way the world is watching the US election
The outcome of the US vote could have a profound effect on the world. And that's why the headlines in the media around the world are the US presidential election.
Russia's Channel One thinks this election could take the form of a 'long political crisis'.
Iran's English-language Press TV reported on Tuesday morning that CBS News had interviewed Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif.
It shows that no matter who comes to the White House, Iran wants the United States to stop its hostility towards them.
The media in Arab countries are also reporting on the US elections with special importance. However, some media outlets are reporting on the attack in Austria.
Al-Arabiya's bulletin called for the opening of the ballot box in the midst of "unprecedented fears of division, tension and protests."
Turkey's pro-government media has backed Trump's warm relations with President Erdogan.
Two more Turkish newspapers said the two candidates could object to the outcome of the vote. Due to this, the election fight may end at the police station.
China's state-run Xinhua news agency has raised concerns about the epidemic coronavirus on US election day. The country's state-run tabloid, the Global Times, says China is focusing more on its own internal affairs than the US election.

You may lose even if you get more votes
Analysts have predicted that the turnout in the US presidential election will break all previous records as nearly 100 million voters have already cast their ballots in advance. However, the candidate who is leading in the total votes across the country may have to accept defeat due to the US election system.
Winning or losing the US presidential election is determined by the electoral vote. The vote on Tuesday will elect a certain number of electors in each state. And the candidate who gets the support or electoral vote of more than half of the entire country will be the President of the United States.
To be elected, a candidate must secure at least 260 of the total 537 electoral votes.
The number of electors varies from state to state. This is determined by the number of state representatives and senators in Congress. Depending on the population, the number of representatives of the states is determined by a census every 10 years.
There are 55 electoral votes in California, 36 in Texas, 29 in New York and Florida, and 20 each in Pennsylvania and Illinois. There are 3 in the District of Columbia.
In all states except Nebraska and Maine, and in the District of Columbia, the one who receives the most votes will receive all the electoral college votes in the 'Winner Take All' system. Electoral divisions are proportional to the number of votes cast in Nebraska and Maine.
Now a president can be elected only if he gets 270 out of 538 electoral votes. Again, a candidate can lose the electoral vote even if he gets more votes in the whole country as a whole.
In two of the last five elections, George W. Bush and Donald Trump have been elected president in the electoral college system, despite receiving less than the total votes.
In 2016, Republican candidate Trump was elected with 308 electoral votes, although he received 3 million fewer votes than Democrat Hillary Clinton.
Earlier, in 2000, Republican candidate George W. Bush was elected president with 271 electoral votes, although Democrat Al Gore received 540,000 more votes.

Biden is backed by the Asian American Republican Group
The Asian American Republican Group has backed Joe Biden, urging thousands of its members to vote for the Democratic Party.
Earlier, the Asian American Republican National Committee backed Trump in the 2016 election. This year, they have said they will no longer support Trump.
In a statement, they said, "It was right to vote for Trump in 2016. Because, we wanted someone outside to break the system. But he is destroying the whole building."
Although I do not agree with Biden's policies, 'vote for Joe Biden, save America! ' The Asian American Republican Group ended the statement with a slogan.

What does the Battleground States Survey say?
The Democratic Party and the Republican Party, which are divided into two camps, have a lot to predict in most states. In the remaining states where the gap between the two main candidates is less, they can be the ultimate determinant of victory or defeat. Joe Biden is leading in the latest polls in five of the top six in that 'battleground' state.
Biden is 1.8 percentage points ahead of Trump in Florida, 2.6 percentage points in Pennsylvania, 5.1 percentage points in Michigan, 6.8 percentage points in Wisconsin and 0.9 percentage points in Arizona.
In North Carolina alone, Trump is 0.2 points ahead of Biden.

Donald Trump, 64, is fighting for a second term as president of the United States. If he fails to win, he will be the first president since George HW Bush failed to be re-elected in 1992.
Former Vice President Joe Biden is ahead of Trump in the latest opinion polls. If the 6-year-old Democrat wins, he will be the oldest candidate to be elected president for the first time in US history.
In addition to the coronavirus epidemic, economic recovery, tax management, medical care, immigration procedures and racism are expected to influence voters to choose their preferred candidate in this election. The coronavirus has already claimed the lives of about 230,000 people in the country.
Biden has signaled a nationwide crackdown on the virus if he wins the election. Trump, on the other hand, says the US economy will not be able to withstand the impact of a new lockdown.

Informatics: The way votes are cast in the United States
The President of the United States is not directly elected by the people. Voters will cast their ballots on Tuesday, electing a specific number of electors in each state. And the candidate in the presidential election who gets the support or electoral vote of more than half of the electors will be the president.
There are a total of 51 electoral colleges in the United States, including 50 states and the capital, Washington DC (District of Columbia). Voters elected 538 electors of these 51 electoral colleges.
To be elected president, a candidate must secure at least 260 of the 538 electoral votes.
The votes that presidential candidates receive from voters are called popular votes. And the vote of the electoral college is called electoral vote.
The number of electors in a state is determined by the total population there. The candidate who gets the most popular votes in a state also gets all the electoral votes in that state. This rule is called 'Winners Take All'. This rule applies to all states except Nebraska and Maine. Electoral divisions are proportional to the number of votes cast in Nebraska and Maine.
Because of these Electoral College rules, those states, such as Pennsylvania, Florida, North Carolina, and Arizona, are crucial in determining victory or defeat.
The highest electoral vote was in California at 55; This was followed by 38 in Texas, 29 in New York and Florida, and 20 in Pennsylvania and Illinois. There are 3 electoral college votes in the District of Columbia.
The key to the White House: the electoral college vote
