The fierce contest between President Donald Trump and his Democratic challenger Joe Biden is headed for a nail-biting finish after three arduous days of the counting of votes. While the final outcome is still pending, Biden is slowly but steadily emerging as the strong contender to trump the US President, having already won 264 of the required 270 electoral college votes. India, the second worst-hit nation by the Covid pandemic, is 11 lakh cases behind the United States. This morning over 50,000 new cases were recorded - the first time since October 26 that the mark has been breached - amid concerns over a surge in cases because of the festive season.
