Biden Is Projected To Be The President-Elect. Here’s How It All Went Down.

As of 5:15 Eastern, nearly 23,000 votes have come in from around Pennsylvania, and Biden has won about two-thirds of them. As a result, Trump’s lead has waned to about 90,500 votes, or about 1.4 percentage points (50.1 percent to 48.7 percent). A two-to-one ratio actually isn’t that great for Biden at this point, but that split had a lot to do with getting some votes from deeply Republican counties. Even then, though, Biden managed to break even in the latest batch from Tioga County (Trump has 75 percent overall there) and win around 63 percent of the latest from Crawford County (Trump’s at 71 percent overall). Bluer Lehigh County also came in with a sizable number of votes.

And critically, none of this involved votes from Philadelphia County. Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar just gave an update on where things stand with the count during a press conference, but hasn’t committed to a timeline on when we’ll know who won Pennsylvania, just stressed they are continuing to count every vote.
