US President Trump tweeted “STOP THE COUNT” Thursday as officials in key battleground states work to count millions of outstanding ballots. Former Vice President Joe Biden is now within six electoral votes of being able to claim victory, according to projections from the Associated Press.

US President Trump has not appeared publicly since early Wednesday morning but his campaign has filed several lawsuits.
