Joe Biden has won the hard-fought battle for Pennsylvania, according to the Associated Press, giving the Democratic candidate enough electoral votes to become the next president of the United States.

With Pennsylvania’s victory, Biden now has 284 electoral votes, well above the 270 needed to win the presidency. However, Trump’s legal team has challenged Pennsylvania’s charge in court.
