Meanwhile, Biden saw his lead in Arizona drop to around 47,000 early Friday; he was still ahead in Nevada, by just 12,000 votes.
As the country held its breath three days after Tuesday’s Election Day, Georgia and Pennsylvania officials expressed optimism that they would finish counting on Friday, while Arizona and Nevada were still expected to take days to finalize their totals of votes.
Trump, 74, has tried to portray the slow counting of mail-in ballots as fraudulent, which gained popularity due to fears of exposure to the coronavirus through in-person voting. As the tallies on those ballots have been counted, they have eroded the strong initial advantages the president had in states like Georgia and Pennsylvania.
Historically, states have taken time after Election Day to count all votes.
Trump released several tweets in the early hours of Friday morning, reiterating complaints he previously issued at the White House. “I easily WIN the Presidency of the United States with LEGAL VOTES CAST,” he said on Twitter, offering no proof that illegal votes were cast.
Twitter flagged the post as possibly misleading, something it has done with numerous Trump posts since Election Day.
