Speaking to reporters after Biden overtook President Donald Trump in the potentially decisive state of Pennsylvania, Pelosi said: “President-Elect Biden has a strong mandate to lead.”
Biden on Friday overcame the president’s lead in the key battleground state of Pennsylvania, putting him in a position to win its 20 electoral votes.
