The outcome of the US presidential election is on a knife edge, with Donald Trump and his rival Joe Biden neck to neck in key swing states.

Biden's campaign said the race was moving to a conclusion in their favour.

Trump claimed to have won and vowed to launch a Supreme Court challenge, without providing evidence of fraud.

Millions of votes remain uncounted and no candidate can credibly claim victory as yet.

According to CNN Biden has 227 Electoral Votes while Trump has 213. 270 Electoral Votes are needed to win the election.

The US is on course for the highest electoral turnout in a century. More than 100 million people cast their ballots in early voting before election day, and tens of millions more added their vote yesterday.

With the nation on edge, the final result may not be known for days.
