Washington:
Democrat Joe Biden has taken over as the key battlefield state of Pennsylvania, where a victory for the former vice president would push him past the threshold of electoral votes needed to win the White House, media said Thursday Americans.
More ballots have yet to be counted, but shortly before 2:00 p.m. GMT, CNN and the New York Times reported that Biden edged out incumbent President Donald Trump by more than 5,500 votes.
Biden currently has at least 253 electoral votes. The magic number is 270. If he wins Pennsylvania – a state won by Trump in 2016 – and his 20 electoral votes, he would cross that threshold.
Biden is also currently leading in the key states of Georgia and Nevada.
