Former Vice President Joe Biden has won in Wisconsin, according to Decision Desk HQ.
Wisconsin has voted for a Democratic president in eight of the past 12 elections, but most recently voted for Donald Trump in 2016. The state is home to one major down-ballot race, in Wisconsin's 3rd Congressional District.
Control over Wisconsin's state government is split: The governorship is held by Democrats while the Republicans hold both chambers of the state legislature. In Congress, Wisconsin's delegation is majority Republican, with Republicans holding six of 10 congressional seats. The state has 10 electoral votes and was expected by analysts to be competitive.
As of 3:15 p.m. ET on Wednesday, Biden was ahead of Trump by 20,533 votes with an estimated 99% of votes counted, per Decision Desk HQ. Trump defeated former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton by a similar margin in 2016, winning by just under 23,000 votes.
The Trump campaign on Wednesday signaled it would call for a recount in Wisconsin. A 2016 recount in the state, which was requested by the Green Party candidate Jill Stein, gave Trump just 131 additional votes.
