All of the major networks, including CNN, CBS, NBC, ABC, Fox News and the Associated Press are projecting former Vice President Joe Biden’s win in Pennsylvania, putting him over the top in electoral college votes needed to win the Presidency with 273.

The networks made the projection as more votes came in Saturday morning from the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania area.

There are still thousands of votes left to be counted.

President-Elect Biden will address the nation from Delaware at 7:00 p.m. Saturday. We’ll carry his speech live on KTTS.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrat Joe Biden has defeated President Donald Trump to become the 46th president of the United States.

Biden vanquished his Republican foe after a campaign as bitter and divisive as Trump’s own presidential term.

Victories in “blue wall” northern industrial states propelled Biden to the White House, where he’ll confront America’s deep health, economic and social ills.

A win in Pennsylvania sealed his victory after more than three tension-filled days of counting votes.

Record numbers of Americans voted early and by mail, many out of concern about going to polling places during the coronavirus pandemic.

The Associated Press declared Democrat Joe Biden the winner of his native Pennsylvania at 11:25 a.m. EST.

The AP called the race for Biden, who held a 34,243-vote lead after it determined that the remaining ballots left to be counted would not allow Trump to catch up .

Biden held a .51 percentage point margin over Trump late Saturday morning.

Under Pennsylvania law, a recount is automatic when the margin between two candidates in a statewide race is less than 0.5 percentage points.

Biden’s lead over Trump was on track to stay outside of that margin.

The AP called the race for Biden after it determined that the remaining ballots left to be counted would not allow Trump to catch up.
