The delay in the result was exacerbated by the fact that the pandemic and predictions of a record turnout resulted in a record number of mail-in ballots, and different states have different rules on when these are counted.
Donald Trump has yet to concede, and the Trump campaign launched legal challenges against the votes in the states of Wisconsin, Georgia, Pennsylvania and Michigan, and may mount a national lawsuit. But commentators have said that these are likely to be unsuccessful.
