The battleground state was worth 20 Electoral College votes. With Pennsylvania, the former vice-president’s vote reached beyond the 270 Electoral College-vote mark.
Biden now has 273 votes to Trump’s 213 Electoral College votes.

Meanwhile, his running mate and California Senator Kamala Harris would be the first woman vice-president of the United States.
