The reason Biden caught Rump in PA was the number of votes AND averaging like 75% of those votes

That's the opposite of the situation with Bidens PA votes. Every batch that came in, Biden cleared his margins by a significant amount, so it got easier and easier to make the margins.

I think before this drop, trump needed to split 59/41 on the remaining ballots. Now I think he needs to split 65/35.
