After taking the lead in the state of Georgia early on Friday morning, Joe Biden is on the cusp of declaring victory in the presidential election. Donald Trump clings to a narrow lead in other swing states that are still counting votes.

In Georgia, the latest figures put both candidates in equal standing in terms of percentage points with each currently holding 49.4 percent of the state vote.

There are now fewer than 10,000 votes that remain uncounted in the state across seven counties, in addition to any overseas and military ballots that are due at 5pm. As many as 8,889 of those could come in.

Biden's lead is less than 1 percent.

Despite being able to count more than 5million votes since the polls closed on Tuesday night, there has been an agonizing delay in the final tens of thousands in the key swing states across the country. Poll officials have no real answer for why it is taking so long.

If the Democrat takes Georgia, then he only needs to hold his lead in either Nevada or Arizona - where he is currently ahead by 11,000 votes and 46,000 votes respectively - to be declared the winner. Results in both states are expected later today.

If Trump loses the state, then he has no path to victory. The best possible outcome would be to tie with Biden, but would need to claim victory in every state remaining in play.

Biden is also narrowing Trump's lead in Pennsylvania, reduced from 600,000 on election day to a little over 18,000 in the early hours of Friday with around 140,000 ballots left to count. An update from the state is expected in the next few hours.

Trump still, is unlikely to concede amid a slew of legal action by his campaign and unsubstantiated allegations of electoral fraud.

Trump renewed the attacks on Thursday night in his first TV appearance since election day itself, where he put the entire presidential election under scrutiny, calling the election into question, claiming it was rigged against him from start to finish by a vast conspiracy.

In his 17-minute tirade the president claimed he was the victim of 'big media, big money and big tech' coming together to commit 'historic election interference' to give Joe Biden the presidency.

He claimed that if all 'legal votes' were counted he would win the election as he charged Democrats with trying to steal the contest 'corruptly' through mail-in ballots in a suddenly-announced White House address delivered as his tiny voting leads in Pennsylvania and Georgia slipped further.

All three broadcast networks - ABC, CBS and NBC - cut away from the press conference before it finished, warning their viewers, and alleging that Trump had made 'a number of false statements' that needed clarifying.
