Rihanna has called for every vote to be counted in the US election.

Joe Biden is inching closer to a victory in the Presidential race, with Donald Trump falling behind.

After Trump sued the state of Pennsylvania to halt their vote counting, the Diamonds singer took to Instagram to have her say on the drama.

In a string of posts for her 87.6million followers, she wrote: ‘Count every vote we’ll wait.’

The 32-year-old has pledged her support to Biden publicly across social media pages, urging fans to get themselves to the polls.

She also made her feelings towards the Republican candidate known, posting a spray paint sign which read: ‘F**K TRUMP’.

Weeks before the polls closed, Rihanna recently expertly trolled the Apprentice star over his relationship with wife Melania, uploading a video of the couple disembarking Air Force One.

The clip went viral as it appeared that Trump was attempting to hold the first lady’s hand when they stepped off the plane, however Melania was apparently more interested in using her free hand to keep her skirt firmly down.

Trump reached out multiple times, pawing at her arm at one point as he struggled to get the message.

A fan decided to lay her 2016 bop, Needed Me, over the footage – and RiRi loved the shade.

Sharing the clip on the gram, she penned: ‘Melania likes art. #78days’ – harping back to her previous post.

Rihanna wasn’t the only famous face reacting to the latest twists and turns of the election – with Mark Ruffalo celebrating as Biden edged nearer to a victory.

The Democratic candidate opened up the margin in the race to 270 – managing to flip Wisconsin and Michigan from Trump’s control.

Cheering the news of his Wisconsin win on Twitter, the Hulk actor penned: ‘Thank you fellow Wisconsinites! 

‘Thank you to the Oneida and Menominee Nations! Love rules!’

‘Yeah baby!!,’ he added to a tweet on Biden also taking Michigan.
