The fierce competition between US President Donald Trump, 74, and Democratic challenger Joe Biden, 77 is nearing its climax as all U.S. citizens will know who their next President will be.
By a preliminary vote, Joe Biden now leads Trump with 122 electoral votes while the US President won 92 electoral votes. For now, voting is still ongoing.
