JAKARTA - Although the vote counting process for the US presidential election is still ongoing, Donald Trump has claimed that he won the battle. The vote count is expected to be completed in the next few hours or days.

This was conveyed by Trump after his Democratic opponent Joe Biden expressed confidence that he would win the presidential election.

"In fact, we have won this election," Trump said after claiming to have won in a number of battleground states where votes still count.

"This is cheating on American society," Trump said without providing any evidence to back up the claim.

US state-wide election laws require all votes to be counted.

More votes still need to be counted this year compared to previous elections as people vote faster by sending ballots and in person, due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Trump won battle areas of Florida, Ohio and Texas, dashing Biden's hopes of a decisive early victory, but Biden said he was on the right track to winning the White House by taking control of the three key Rust Belt states.

Biden, 77, is eyeing so-called 'blue walls' states like Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania that sent Trump, 74, to the White House in 2016 for a possible breakthrough after they finished counting votes in hours or days to come. front.

"We feel confident in where we are now," said Biden in his home state of Delaware, shouting amid a crowd of supporters who agreed to Biden's remarks by honking their horns from inside the car. "We believe we are on the right track to win this election."

Trump has repeatedly, and without evidence, called balloting by letter leading to increased fraud, although election experts say fraud is rare and mail voting is an old feature of US elections.
