Biden projected to win Wisconsin

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden has been projected to pick up a key battleground state.

Biden will win Wisconsin and its 10 electoral votes, CNN and The Associated Press projected on Wednesday afternoon. This was among the crucial battleground states that remained too close to call on election night. More than 98 percent of the vote has now been counted there, according to The New York Times.

Trump narrowly won Wisconsin during the 2016 election, and this was one of the states that allowed him to secure his victory. Trump's re-election campaign has already said it will request a recount in Wisconsin as Biden leads by about 20,000 votes.

Biden picking up Wisconsin makes Trump's path to 270 electoral votes more challenging, though other crucial states including Pennsylvania and Michigan that the president is hoping to win again have not yet been called.
