Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden took a narrow lead over President Donald Trump in the battleground states of Georgia and Pennsylvania on Friday, edging closer to winning the White House in a nail biting contest as a handful of undecided states continued to count votes.
Winning Pennsylvania's 20 electoral votes would put the former vice president over the 270 he needs to secure the presidency.
While taking just Georgia's 16 electoral votes would put him on the cusp of victory.
Biden also maintained slim advantages in Arizona and Nevada.
He would become the next president by winning Pennsylvania alone or by winning two out of the trio of Georgia, Nevada and Arizona.
Trump's likeliest path appeared narrower.
He needs to hang onto both Pennsylvania and Georgia and also overtake Biden in either Nevada or Arizona.
The shift in Georgia came hours after Trump appeared at the White House to falsely claim the election was being quote stolen from him.
His campaign is pursuing a Siris of lawsuits across battleground states that legal experts described as unlikely to succeed in altering the election outcome.
