President Donald Trump has won the prized battleground state of Florida as he and Democrat Joe Biden battle to the finish of an epic US election campaign.

The two men are locked in tight races across the country, with Mr Trump also claiming the battlegrounds of Ohio and Iowa while Mr Biden won Minnesota and Iowa, two modest prizes the president had hoped to steal.
