The US election is far from over with millions of votes outstanding in key states like Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan — ballots that were cast before Election Day that have yet to be counted, according to CNN.
Based on CNN’s current projections, Joe Biden has 224 electoral votes while President Trump has 213 electoral votes.
It is worth noting that each candidate needs 270 electoral votes to win the presidency.
US stock futures swung wildly early Wednesday as the prospects of a quick, decisive result to the election faded and President Trump made baseless claims about the vote, leaving investors on edge.
Uncertainty is the enemy of markets. Investors had hoped that early results would point to a clear winner sooner rather than later, avoiding the nightmare scenario of a contested election.
