Pennsylvania call not expected in coming hours

While Joe Biden is leading Donald Trump by over 14,000 votes in Pennsylvania, it is unlikely that major networks will be calling the state for the democratic nominee in the coming several hours.

The Associated Press says it won’t make a call until Biden’s lead reaches 35,000 votes, which is 0.5% and the threshold for avoiding an automatic recount in Pennsylvania.

The state tally is expected to be updated with 7,000 more votes from Allegheny County where Pittsburgh is within the hour, but that still won’t be enough to stretch Biden’s lead to 35,000.

Biden is said to address the nation on Friday night. The Trump campaign said earlier Friday that “this election is not over.”
