The left side of the internet is swooning for Philadelphia this morning, after the city’s latest batch of mail votes put former VP Joe Biden in the lead in Pa. and for the presidency.

As the count continues in the commonwealth, the former VP looks to pick up our 20 Electoral College votes. Meanwhile the GOP will flip at least one row office and leads in a second. Every incumbent member of Congress looks likely to serve another term. And 15 candidates for closely watched races in the state legislature *haven’t* declared victory, as we also still await final results for the three statewide contests. 

Ballots from southeast PA and the Lehigh Valley that were tabulated on Thursday have tightened the race for president and other offices.
