Has the US presidential election led to further divisions?

Trump and Biden supporters grow impatient as vote results hang in the balance.

Democratic challenger Joe Biden is inching towards removing Donald Trump from the White House.

The results depend on just a few states where only thousands of votes separate the two candidates.

Trump’s campaign is suing to stop the count in some areas, alleging without evidence that the election is being stolen.

As the battle heats up, the US media surveys found the election has further widened social divisions.

Regardless of who wins, can Americans heal their divided nation?
