[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunwoo Lee] Following Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, President Donald Trump's vote count also surpassed 70 million, setting new records for both candidates as the highest vote-getters in history, regardless of the election outcome.

According to foreign media including The Washington Post (WP), on the 6th (local time), the Federal Election Commission (FEC) reported that President Trump's vote count reached 70,206,299 votes (47.7%), surpassing 70 million. Earlier, on the 4th, Biden had already exceeded 70 million votes, receiving 74,391,033 votes. If Biden wins, he will become the highest vote-getting winner in U.S. presidential election history, while President Trump will be recorded as the highest vote-getting loser.

The previous record for the highest vote-getting winner was held by former President Barack Obama, who received 69.5 million votes in the 2008 election. The highest vote-getting loser was Hillary Clinton, the Democratic candidate defeated by Trump in the 2016 election, who received 65.9 million votes.

These record-breaking vote counts are based on the high voter turnout in this election. According to NBC News, at least 159.8 million voters participated in this election, marking the highest number of voters in U.S. presidential election history. The turnout rate is estimated at 66.8%, the highest in 120 years since 1900.
