People took to the streets of New York City on Thursday as vote counting continues in the U.S. presidential election, with results showing former vice-president Joe Biden edging closer to a victory over President Donald Trump. Trump has claimed victory and called for a halt to the counting of ballots in states that will determine the outcome of Tuesday’s election. Meanwhile, Biden has said he believes he is on course to win once the votes are counted. Arrests were made in Portland and New York as protests spread in those cities on Wednesday. Arrests were also made in Minneapolis after protesters blocked traffic, local police said. Activists have staged rallies in Atlanta, Detroit and Oakland demanding that vote counts proceed unimpeded. Heading into the Nov. 3 elections, the United States had seen months of protests following the death in May of George Floyd, a Black man who died after a Minneapolis police officer knelt on his neck for nearly nine minutes.
