New Delhi:
US President Donald Trump tweeted about a “big win” and accused his Democratic rival Joe Biden of “trying to steal” the election in tweets as the votes were counted in the US election.
Twitter reported its tweet accusing Joe Biden’s Democrats of trying to ‘steal’ the election.
“We are BIG, but they are trying to STEAL the election. We will never let them do that. Votes cannot be cast after the polls close!” – tweeted the president.
“I will make a statement tonight. A big WINNER!”
I will make a statement this evening. A big gain!

We’re BIG, but they’re trying to steal the election. We will never let them do it. Votes cannot be cast after the polls have closed!

President Trump’s original tweet, which misspelled the polls as “Pole,” has been deleted and edited.
Trump and Biden are neck and neck as polls gradually close in the United States on Tuesday.
Trump has so far won 21 states and Biden has won 19.
Trump has won narrow victories in the states of Florida and Ohio.
Biden, in an address not long ago, told his supporters to “keep the faith” because the votes are still being tallied and it could be a long road.
“We feel good where we are. We have to be patient; we have to wait until every vote is counted … every ballot is counted. But we feel good,” he said.
“It’s not for me or Donald Trump to decide. We have to wait and see … Keep the faith! We’re going to win this.”
