President Donald Trump’s campaign took steps to seek a recount in Wisconsin on Nov. 7, after several news outlets and Democratic nominee Joe Biden’s campaign declared a narrow victory in the state.

Biden has more than a 20,000-vote lead over Trump in Wisconsin, according to The Associated Press and Decision Desk, an organization used by The Epoch Times. Biden has 49.5 percent of the vote, while Trump has 48.9 percent. A trailing candidate is allowed to seek a recount under state law if the margin of a race is within 1 percentage point.
