Joe Biden has defeated President Donald Trump in Pennsylvania, clinching the Electoral College and delivering a decisive rebuke to Trump in one of the states that lifted him to the White House four years ago.
Widely seen as the most likely state to decide who would win the Electoral College, Pennsylvania was one of the most heavily contested battlegrounds in the presidential race. Biden visited it more than any other swing state, put his campI haveaign headquarters there before the Covid-19 pandemic, and deployed former President Barack Obama, his top surrogate, to Philadelphia for his first in-person event this fall.
Trump lavished attention on Pennsylvania as well, holding a series of rallies in the state in the final week before the election.
Republicans and Democrats also fought in court for months over the state’s voting rules, mostly resulting in the failure of GOP efforts to restrict mail voting.
