On Friday, Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden inched closer to winning the White House. While left-leaning articles highlight that Biden was on the threshold of winning the White House with narrow leads over President Trump in several battleground states, right-leaning articles highlight that Trump does not have plans to immediately concede in the election, despite the fact that Biden leads in key states that could deliver him enough electoral votes to declare him the winner of the 2020 election.
A left-leaning article by Bloomberg highlights that Biden was on the threshold of winning the White House with narrow leads over President Trump in several battleground states. While Decision Desk HQ, an election-data firm, projected that Biden will win Pennsylvania, the Trump campaign immediately rejected the call.
The Hill published a centrist article reporting that the margins in the battleground states being contested were extremely close even after Biden overtook Trump in the vote count Friday morning. Uncertainty about provisional ballots in Pennsylvania have kept the networks from projecting a winner there.
A right-leaning article by Fox News highlights that Trump does not have plans to immediately concede in the election, despite the fact that Biden leads in key states that could deliver him enough electoral votes to declare him the winner of the 2020 election. The president will almost certainly ask for a recount in Pennsylvania and likely ask for a recount in Georgia as well.
