Former Vice President Joe Biden has taken the lead in Wisconsin, erasing Donald Trump’s lead in the state.
With tranches of mail-in ballots added to the state vote count added Wednesday morning, Wisconsin has shifted from a four-point lead for President Trump, to a nearly one-point lead for Biden.
With 95% of the vote counted, Biden now leads Trump by 7,786 votes, with 1,583,112 votes total for Biden, or 49.4% of the vote, to Trump’s 1,575,326, or 49.1% of the vote.
A significant number of ballots remain to be counted in the Republican-leaning Brown County in northeast Wisconsin, including a number of absentee ballots from Green Bay.
With ten electoral votes, Wisconsin is a key state in this year's election, and was one of three key Rust Belt states Trump narrowly won in 2016, providing him with a majority in the electoral college.
Without Wisconsin, Trump still leads in states totaling 284 electoral votes - 14 more than the 270 needed to win the presidency - including Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, and North Carolina, which have yet to be called in his favor.
Large numbers of mail-in votes remain to be counted in Michigan and Pennsylvania, however.
In Michigan, Trump's lead has been cut to just over 1.5 points, with the president now leading Biden 50.0%, with 2,200,902 votes, to 48.4% for the former Vice President, or 2,120,695 votes.
