Friday, 06 November 2020_US President Donald Trump has pledged to continue his legal fight as his Democratic rival Joe Biden who inches closer to 270 votes he needs to win the presidency.

"We will pursue this process through every aspect of the law to guarantee that the American people have confidence in our government. I will never give up fighting for you and our nation," Trump said in a statement released by the White House on Friday.

This comes as Biden expanded his narrow leads over Trump in the battleground states of Pennsylvania and Georgia on Friday three days after polls closed, holding a 264 to 214 lead in the state-by-state Electoral College vote that determines the winner.

Also a statement the president’s campaign released Friday said Trump would continue to press his unsubstantiated claims of election fraud.

"From the beginning we have said that all legal ballots must be counted and all illegal ballots should not be counted, yet we have met resistance to this basic principle by Democrats at every turn."

"We will pursue this process through every aspect of the law to guarantee that the American people have confidence in our government.”

Supporters of Biden danced in the streets outside a ballot-counting center in Philadelphia Friday, while several hundred supporters of Trump raised premature chants of "We won!" outside a counting center in Detroit.
