Joe Biden moved ahead of President Donald Trump in the battleground state of Georgia and Pennsylvania on Friday morning, putting him one step closer to the White House as states continue to count ballots.Biden has 264 Electoral College votes and Trump has 214, according to the Associated Press.
Both candidates need 270 votes to secure the presidency.Friday morning, Pennsylvania officials are expected to make an announcement about the vote count in the state.
Currently, Biden is leading there in the state with 5,500 votes.The Associated Press has projected Biden to win Arizona, meaning a victory in Georgia, Pennsylvania, or Nevada would push Biden to the 270 vote threshold.Trump’s likeliest path appears narrower — he needs to hang onto both.
