Former Vice President Joe Biden joked Tuesday that his five-vote sweep of Dixville Notch, N.H., would allow him to declare victory in the presidential election, a jab at allegations that President Donald Trump might try to claim a second term in the White House before all ballots are counted.
"Based on Trumps notion, Im going to declare victory tonight," Biden said, eliciting laughs from a group of about 50-60 supporters outside a carpenters union in Scranton, Pa. Dixville Notch, a tiny township in Northern New Hampshire, is famous for being the first to count its votes.
Biden delivered brief remarks in Scranton and hit on themes familiar to his campaign including rebuilding the middle class, restoring the soul of the nation and recalling the violence in Charlottesville, Va., that spurred him to run for President.
Biden's jab at President Donald Trump comes after Axios reported on Monday that Trump told multiple aides he plans to declare victory on Election Night if he's "ahead." But in an interview with Fox News Tuesday Morning, Trump said he would declare himself the winner of the 2020 election only when theres victory, acknowledging that theres no reason to play games.
