Former Vice President
Joe Biden pulled ahead of
President Trump in
Pennsylvania on Friday morning, with FiveThirtyEight's Nate Silver writing that the incumbent president "has no path back in Pennsylvania. The outcome is not in doubt." But while winning Pennsylvania would hand a victory to Biden with its 20 Electoral College votes, the
Trump campaign has revolted against what to many seems like the writing on the wall. "The
election is not over," the Trump campaign general counsel, Matt Morgan, wrote in a statement released Friday. "The false projection of Joe Biden is based on results in four states that are far from final."
It's true that none of the four remaining decisive states — Pennsylvania, Nevada, Georgia, and
Arizona — have officially been called by a majority of networks; only
Fox News and The Associated Press have Arizona in the "Biden" column so far, with the rest remaining too close to call. But bipartisan election experts say the path to victory for Trump, based on the remaining ballots which are expected to lean Democrat, is increasingly slim.
Meanwhile, Trump and his allies have continued to spread unfounded conspiracies claiming they've been robbed of the election.
