Biden, who is a native of Scranton, Pennsylvania, won the state with 50% of the vote, compared to 48.8% for Trump.

Biden received 3,459,382 votes, while Trump got 3,378,362 votes, a margin of almost exactly 80,000 votes.

Nationally, Biden is projected to win 306 electoral votes — 36 more than he needs to clinch the presidency — compared to 232 electoral votes for Trump.

“Today @PAStateDept certified the results of the November 3 election in Pennsylvania for president and vice president of the United States,” Wolf wrote in his tweet.

“As required by federal law, I’ve signed the Certificate of Ascertainment for the slate of electors for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.”

“Again, I want to thank the election officials who have administered a fair and free election during an incredibly challenging time in our commonwealth and country’s history,” Wolf added in another tweet.

“Our election workers have been under constant attack and they have performed admirably and honorably.”
