Biden takes lead in battleground statesBut in the presidential voting itself, Biden appeared, on Friday morning, to be near the critical 270 electoral votes required to win the White House.
That happened when unofficial vote tallies released in Pennsylvania gave Biden a lead in that state's popular vote count. The Pennsylvania vote count is not yet complete, but Biden also had a lead on Trump in Georgia, Arizona, and Nevada Friday morning, suggesting very strongly that Biden will be the winner.Trump has launched lawsuits and recount demands, but political experts do not give those efforts any realistic chance of changing the outcome of the election.
