Former U.S. Vice-president Joe Biden has widen his lead over President Donald Trump after winning Michigan, inching closer to the 270 Electoral Colleges votes needed to clinch the White House.

Michigan is one of the pivotal battleground states that Trump won in 2016. It is now back to blue.

Biden defeated Trump, 49.8% to 48.6% with 97% of the vote counted, for Michigan’s 16 electoral votes in a race projected by the Associated Press.

The win in Michigan took Biden to 264 Electoral College votes, six shy of a victory less than a day after polls closed on Election Day.

The New Diplomat reported late Wednesday that Wisconsin has been called for Biden, narrowing Trump’s path to victory.

Meanwhile, Trump’s lawyers have launched legal bids to stop further counting of votes in Michigan and Pennsylvania.

Trump may lose the latter when all the mail-in ballots are counted.

To alter Biden’s path to victory, Trump must now win Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Georgia and Nevada. However, he’s currently trailing Biden in Nevada.
