According to the New York Times (NYT) on the 3rd (local time), the Democrats, who were encouraged by the record-breaking early voting and poll results and expected a landslide victory, are now nervously watching the election results as the race tightens, biting their nails.

The Democrats had quietly hoped that candidate Joe Biden would perform well in southern states such as Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina. Although these areas were not places where Biden had staked everything on winning, they expected the election to proceed smoothly if he won there. However, the counting results indicate that President Trump is projected to win in all these states.

However, the news that Biden is leading in Arizona is encouraging for his campaign. Arizona was a state won by President Trump in the last election. It is also encouraging that Biden managed to hold onto New Hampshire, the only battleground state that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton won in the previous election.

Biden’s camp is currently waiting for the Rust Belt election results, which include Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin. Although President Trump is currently leading in these areas, they expect the election results to change once mail-in and other early voting results are reflected.
