Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden delivered a statement where he appealed for patience and indicated that it is going be a long drawn election night.
Biden said he is locked in a tight race against Republican President Donald Trump but was optimistic of a win.
Biden said the results of the election may not be known until Wednesday morning or later but he is optimistic of the outcome.
“We knew this was going to go long, but who knew we would go into maybe tomorrow morning, maybe even longer!” Biden says, speaking now from Delaware.
“But we feel good about where we are. I’m here to tell you tonight we believe we’re on track to win this election.”
He adds: “It ain’t over until every vote, every ballot is counted.”
