Biden edged ahead of Trump in Pennsylvania Friday morning, bolstering his prospects to win the presidency with the move in a key battleground state.
If he wins the state and its 20 electoral votes, Biden would become the next U.S. president, provided that other race calls stand.
Biden moved in front of Trump in Pennsylvania by fewer than 6,000 votes with the release of the latest batch of results from the state.
The former vice president had trailed in the state since Election Night, but Trump’s initial lead of as much as 700,000 votes progressively shrank as election officials tallied mail-in ballots that heavily favored the Democratic candidate.
The result is still too close to call the state, with additional legal challenges likely and more ballots yet to be counted.
