Who has won the 2020 US presidential election? Nobody quite knows yet – and Cardi B is stressed.

The rapper watched on as the world waited for any indication on who would emerge as the US president.

Both Donald Trump and Joe Biden have won key states in what has become a tighter race than polls had suggested.

Some celebrities reassured their fans by alerting them to the fact that mail-in votes, which are expected to show more support for Biden, will be announced slower than votes made at polling stations.

This didn’t stop Biden supporters from growing concerned after seeing Trump initially win in a lot of states. 

Cardi B posted a video to her Instagram page in which she is seen smoking not one, but three cigarettes.

“How these elections got me watching these states turn red,” she wrote.

The race remains extremely close in crucial states, including Georgia, Arizona and Pennsylvania.

Kanye West, who was on the ballot in a handful of states, admitted defeat in the early hours of Wednesday (4 November), but hinted he would run for president again in 2024.
