Former vice-president Joe Biden didn’t declare victory on Friday night, but he did tell voters across the United States he believes he has the upper hand as the vote count continues.
“We’re on track to over 300 electoral college votes,” Biden said from the Chase Center in Wilmington, Delaware. “And look at the national numbers. We’re on track with a clear majority behind us.”
“Our vote total is still growing. We’re beating Donald Trump by over 4 million votes,” Biden said.
“While we’re waiting for the final results I want people to know we’re not waiting to get the work done,” Biden continued.
Flanked by his running mate, California senator Kamala Harris, Biden said he had met with experts on the economy and the coronavirus in past days and his team was ready to address some of the major problems vexing the country.
Biden’s comments come as votes are counted in a handful of remaining states. Neither the former vice president or Donald Trump have reached the 270 electoral votes needed to win the race but over the past few days. Biden, however, has retained a lead in both votes in those states and the electoral count.
More details soon.
