Protesters from both sides have gathered in front of the Pennsylvania Convention Center, where the vote count is taking place in Philadelphia.
PITTSBURGH (VG) The state of Pennsylvania is about to end the American election drama. In the big cities of Pittsburgh and Pennsylvania, protesters from both sides have taken to the streets.
Joe Biden has so far secured 253 voters and only needs 270 to secure electoral victory. With 20 voters, only Pennsylvania can now decide the election.
The vote count is still ongoing, but as more and more mail-in votes are counted, Biden’s leadership increases. He now leads with 49.5 percent to Trump’s 49.2, after the gap increased to 16,784 votes Saturday night.
Trump won Pennsylvania by just over 44,000 votes in the last election.

Protesters from both sides gathered on Friday afternoon local time in the major cities of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh in the important transitional state.
In Philadelphia, several hundred protesters from both sides have gathered in front of the place where the vote counting takes place on Saturday night Norwegian time. Two Virginia people were charged Friday with gun violations after they were arrested with guns near the polling station in the city on Thursday, Reuters reports.
There have also been large rallies and police rallies outside Pittsburgh City Hall on Friday. Shops in the city have nailed doors and windows to protect themselves from damage.
So it is now: Significant increase for Biden in Georgia

Democrats are traditionally strong in the counties where these big cities are located, Allegheny County and Philadelphia, and the last mayor, Jim Kenney, has already come out and asked Trump to accept defeat.
– I think what the president has to do now is put on the “big boy pants”. You must admit that you have lost and you must congratulate the winner, just as Jimmy Carter did, as Georghe W. Bush did, and as Al Gore did. You must stop this and move on, he said at a press conference on Friday, writes CBS Philly.
Twenty voters are at stake here, and if Biden gets away with victory, he will have secured all the voters he needs to win the presidential election.
