MADISON, Wis. — The Associated Press has declared Joseph R. Biden the winner of the presidential race in Wisconsin.
Biden and President Donald Trump were in a tight race in Wisconsin, one of the same Midwestern battleground states that decided the election four years ago.
At one point early Wednesday morning, less than three-tenths of a percentage point separated the candidates. That margin is narrow enough for Trump to request a recount.
More than 1.9 million people resorted to mail-in voting or voted early in person and poll workers around the state had to count a flood of absentee ballots prompted by the coronavirus pandemic.
Biden was previously the vice president to President Barack Obama during both of his administrations from 2008-2016.
