U.S Election: Joe Biden Beats Trump In Pennsylvania

The United States presidential hopeful, Joe Biden may be headed to the White House, as he beats  President Trump in Pennsylvania on Friday morning.

Thus, the Democrats grew increasingly confident that he would win the state and with it the presidency: The state’s 20 electoral votes would put Mr. Biden past the threshold for victory.

With the tallying on Friday morning of more than 30,000 votes from Philadelphia, which voted overwhelmingly for Mr. Biden, he pulled ahead of Mr. Trump by 6,737 votes.

Mr. Biden had steadily erased Mr. Trump’s early lead in the state — at one point, the president led by half a million votes — as ballots, mostly absentee and mail-in votes, were counted over the past few days. Most of the remaining uncounted votes in the state are in Democratic-leaning areas.

The “overwhelming majority” of the state’s remaining votes will be counted by Friday, Kathy Boockvar, the Pennsylvania secretary of state, told CNN, adding that the voter counters were “working incredibly hard.”

Mr. Biden currently has 253 electoral votes. Should he win Pennsylvania, he would pass the 270 votes needed to capture the White House.

On Thursday, Pennsylvania Democratic officials had said their analysis of the uncounted votes gave them confidence that Mr. Biden would win the state by a substantial margin.

“We believe when the votes are counted, it’s pretty clear that Joe Biden’s going to be president of the United States, because he’s going to win Pennsylvania,” said State Senator Sharif Street, the vice chair of the state Democratic Party.

Mr. Trump has baselessly insisted that post-Election Day tallies showing Mr. Biden leading in battleground states, including Pennsylvania, were the result of fraud, and has vowed to challenge them in court. His campaign showed no sign of an imminent concession Friday morning.

“The false projection of Joe Biden as the winner is based on results in four states that are farDemocratsal,” a lawyer for the Trump campaign said in a statement.
