Leading Trump, Biden inches closer to victory

<p><a href="/en/afganistan/kabul" class="glossify-link">KABUL</a> (Pajhwok): As his electoral rival President Donald Trump’s chances continue to fade, Joe Biden leads by more than 28,000 votes in Pennsylvania.</p>

<p>A win in the state would hand Biden the electoral votes he requires to find his way to the White House, an influential US newspaper reported on Saturday.</p>

<p>The New York Times quoted the Democratic presidential runner as saying: “We’re going to win this race.” Biden hoped the address would be his victory speech.</p>

<p>He sounded hopeful of winning the presidential ballot, asserting his lead had given him a mandate for action on national issues.</p>

<p>“We’re going to win this race with a clear majority of the nation behind us. We’ve gotten over 74 million votes,” the ex-vice president remarked.</p>

<p>That number was more than any presidential ticket had ever won in the history of the United States, he added.</p>
