Donald Trump’s Tweet flagged by Twitter
US President Donald Trump and social media giant Twitter were caught in another spat. MR Trump, who is seeking re-election, accused his opponent of “trying to steal the election.” Twitter flagged his post, saying it could be disputed or misleading.

At 11.30 AM (Indian Time), Biden had 223 votes against Trump’s 212, according to The Associated Press (AP). 270 is the magic number that both of them are trying to get to.
Talking about projections, Donald Trump looks good in Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Idaho, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, West Virginia, Wyoming, Indiana, South Carolina and Utah.
However, former Vice-President Joe Biden, looks all set to win states like California, Colorado, Columbia, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia and Washington – which are known to be Democratic stronghold.
Elections in America are a mess. This is why I love India and its electoral process. I support Joe Biden and he will become the next US president.
