- Trump makes series of falsehoods in White House press conference
- Votes still being counted in Pennsylvania, Georgia and Nevada
- Biden calls for calm as America anxiously awaits results
- Why are the media reporting different US election results?
- Trump v Biden – full results as they come in
- Senate and House elections – full results as they come in
A federal judge has denied the Trump campaign’s motion to stop ballot counting in Philadelphia. This is the third campaign legal challenge to the vote count that has been dismissed.
The president’s chances of winning reelection appear to be shrinking as states continue to count ballots. His increasingly desperate campaign has launched a series of lawsuits that are unlikely to have any bearing on the election results, but have served as a means to sow doubt in the legitimacy of the whole elections system.

After Donald Trump falsely declared victory at his White House press conference, claiming, “If you count the legal votes, I easily win” – Joe Biden responded: “No one is going to take our democracy from us.”
Several news outlets cut away from Trump and the Associated Press – which the Guardian relies on to project election results – swiftly clarified that it “has not declared a winner in the presidential race, with several states still too early to call”.
No one is going to take our democracy away from us. Not now, not ever.
America has come too far, fought too many battles, and endured too much to let that happen.
