Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden has said that he is on track to grab over 300 electoral votes in the US election, more than enough for victory, while stopping short of announcing himself the formal winner.


Speaking from his native Delaware on Friday night, Biden boasted about wiping out President Donald Trump’s initial advantage in several key battleground states over the last 24 hours.


“Just look at what has happened since yesterday. Twenty-four hours, we were behind in Georgia, now we're ahead and we're going to win that state,” he said. “Twenty-four hours ago, we were behind in Pennsylvania, and we are going to win Pennsylvania.”


Trump enjoyed a healthy edge over the Democratic challenger in the both states shortly after the polls closed on Election Night. However, as mail-in ballots continued to be tallied, Biden chipped away at the president's lead, eventually leaving him trailing behind.
