Donald Trump has taken to Twitter to declare the Republican Party will easily win the race to the White House. Once again he claimed illegal votes were being counted, without any evidence it was occurring. He also hit out at the social media site for being "out of control" after a number of his Tweets were hidden from view and branded "misleading about the election" by the site's moderators.

The incumbent President said: "Twitter is out of control, made possible through the government gift of Section 230!"

Trump wrote several other Tweets this morning, where he repeated his claim that he was winning the election.

He said: "I easily WIN the Presidency of the United States with LEGAL VOTES CAST.

"The OBSERVERS were not allowed, in any way, shape, or form, to do their job and therefore, votes accepted during this period must be determined to be ILLEGAL VOTES. US Supreme Court should decide!"

A third Tweet read: "So now the Democrats are working to gain control of the US Senate through their actions on John James, David Perdue, and more. Would End the Filibuster, Life, 2A, and would Pack and Rotate the Court. Presidency becomes even more important. We will win!"

Trump led a press conference last night, where he repeatedly claimed, without evidence, that according to a count of "legal votes" he would be this election's presumptive winner.

There is no basis for this claim.

The votes are still being counted in a number of states and these are legitimate mail-in ballots, not illegal votes, as Trump has suggested.

They are being counted last because that is standard procedure in several states.

Over the course of the Presidential campaign Trump encouraged his supporters to vote in person and avoid mail-in ballots.

Biden by contrast, urged voters to mail-in their ballots, which is why the Democrat candidate is seeing a surge in votes in states still counting ballots.

The difference in voting behaviour for the two parties does not come as a surprise, as political insiders have expected for months that Democrats would vote disproportionately by mail, while Republicans would vote disproportionately in person.

In response to Trump's press conference, Biden tweeted: "No one is going to take our democracy away from us. Not now, not ever.

"America has come too far, fought too many battles, and endured too much to let that happen."

Speaking at the Queen Theater in Wilmington, Delaware, earlier on Thursday, the Democratic nominee urged calm and said: In America, the vote is sacred. Each ballot must be counted."

In the meantime, I ask everyone to stay calm.

The winner of the US Presidential election is yet to be announced, but Biden is currently leading with six states still to declare their results.

To win the race a candidate needs to reach 270 electoral college votes, Biden currently stands on 253 while Trump trails on 214.

The key states yet to announce their results includePennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona and Nevada.

It is not yet clear a final result will be in as the millions of postal votes are delaying the counts.
