President Donald Trump’s wide margin lead in Pennsylvania,
one of the key battlegrounds, has been narrowed by challenger, Joe Biden.
Likewise, Trump is catching up very fast with Biden in
another battleground of Arizona.
The race to the White House is getting tighter.
On Wednesday, Trump led in Pennsylvania with over 500,000 votes, but as at Thursday morning, Biden has narrowed the gap to 164,000 votes, with more votes still to be counted.
Eleven percent of the votes in Pennsylvania have not been
counted and many of them are mail votes, believe to be in favour of Biden.
As it stands, Trump has polled 3,215,969 votes (50.7%),
while Biden has 3,051,555 votes (48.1%)
Trump has raised allegation of electoral fraud against him
in Pennsylvania. The State has 20 electoral votes.
In a tweet, Trump said: “They are working hard to make up
500,000 vote advantage in Pennsylvania disappear — ASAP. Likewise, Michigan and
others!”
According to Trump, “They are finding Biden votes all over
the place — in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan. So bad for our Country!”
In Arizona, where Biden has been leading comfortably, as at
Wednesday, Trump has sprung up surprise, narrowing the lead drastically.
The biggest county in Arizona has just released the second
of two sets of new votes promised Wednesday night – shrinking Joe Biden’s lead
there by just over 10,000 votes.
