Joe Biden’s campaign team is reportedly planning for some big news out of Pennsylvania, a state that could put him over the top in the 2020 presidential race.
As the vote counting stretches beyond the second day with the race for the White House still in the balance, the vice president’s team is reportedly telling allies to get ready for a celebration in the Keystone State. As NBC News reporter Geoff Bennett notex on Twitter, an official has texted local officials apparently preparing them for what could be the tipping point in the contest.
At the time of his tweet, the margin was still razor-thin in Pennsylvania, with Donald Trump holding onto a narrow lead but Biden closing the gap with each update. While the reported message to the elected Democrat showed confidence from the former vice president’s campaign, in public he has been more guarded in statements regarding the election. While the president has declared victory — both in the overall race for the White House and in individual states, including Pennsylvania — Biden has been more careful in saying that he believes he is on course to winning once all the votes have been counted.
Speaking in Delaware on Thursday, Biden called for patience and stressed that all the votes needed to be counted.
“Democracy sometimes is messy. It sometimes requires a little patience as well,” Biden said, via Politico.
“So I ask everyone to stay calm, all the people to stay calm,” he said, adding that “the process is working. The count is being completed. And we’ll know very soon.”
