PHILADELPHIA — Pennsylvania’s vote-counting is creeping along and President Donald Trump’s lead over Joe Biden continues to shrink.
It’s now down to about 64,000 votes, or just under 1 percentage point — down from nearly 13 points on Wednesday. But there are roughly 326,000 outstanding mail ballots left to be counted.
So far, about 76 percent of the mail ballots have broken for Biden, while 23 percent have been won by Trump. If that pace continues — and it’s a big if — Biden would take the lead.
Earlier in the day, Secretary of the Commonwealth Kathy Boockvar told CNN that the victor of the presidential race “definitely could” be announced Thursday. But at a press conference later in the day, she signaled she was less certain that would happen.
