WASHINGTON (AP) — The Latest on the presidential campaign (all times local):

4:30 p.m.

Democrat Joe Biden says he feels “very good” about the outcome of the presidential election and is telling his supporters to “stay calm” as votes continue to be counted.

President Donald Trump’s campaign has pursued legal efforts to halt the vote counting in some states and is seeking a recount in Wisconsin.

Biden says that “the process is working” and “we’ll know very soon” the outcome of the election. Biden and his top campaign officials have expressed confidence about the vote but have been careful to emphasize the need for every ballot to be counted. Biden’s running mate, California Sen.

but it could take a bit because of the chaos.

NC has a longer time frame to count votes, Nov. 12 maybe, but the experts will sense how it's going.
