WASHINGTON: US presidential candidate Joseph Biden on Wednesday said that he is winning in enough states to prevail in the election, according to a report by Sputnik news agency.
"Now, after a long night of counting, it is clear that we [will] win enough states to [win] 270 electoral votes needed to win the presidency," Biden told reporters.
The Democratic challenger said he was not there to declare anything, but is confident his campaign will emerge victorious.
Biden told the press conference that he and his running mate Kamala Harris were on track to break the record in the popular vote in the United States.
"Indeed, Senator Harris and I are on track to win more votes than any ticket in the history of this country," Biden said on Wednesday.
He also said he felt optimistic about overtaking incumbent President Donald Trump in the US state of Pennsylvania.
"All the remaining ballots to be counted cast by mail. And we've been winning 78 percent of the votes by mail in Pennsylvania," Biden said.
