The Trump Campaign says it will call for a recount in Wisconsin, hours before Joe Biden is named the projected winner.
“There have been reports of irregularities in several Wisconsin counties which raise serious doubts about the validity of the results. The President is well within the threshold to request a recount and we will immediately do so,” Trump campaign manager Bill Stepien said in a statement.
The state is considered crucial for both candidates. Trump won Wisconsin by less than 1% in 2016.
There are no automatic recounts in Wisconsin, but a candidate who is within 1% of the winner can request one.
