Pennsylvania Democratic Sen. Bob Casey told CNN Thursday afternoon that he firmly believes there are enough uncounted votes in the Keystone State for Joe Biden to overtake President Donald Trump.
Casey predicted that Biden could overtake Trump by a 100,000 vote margin in Pennsylvania, but that it might "only reached when the vote is certified, which is down the road.”
“But for the short term, no question, I think, Joe Biden will win the state,” Casey, who has served in the US Senate since 2007, continued.
Casey added that he thinks Biden's Pennsylvania win is "inevitable" because the remaining vote results that have yet to be tallied reside in and around cities and are mail-in votes.
"The reason for that is most of the vote out, as you know, is in Philadelphia, Delaware County," he said. "Even in the counties that President Trump will win big, there’ll be scattering of Joe Biden votes because they’re mail-ins and they obviously tend to favor the Democrats."
There are approximately 369,364 mail-in ballots left to be counted in the state as of 3:00 p.m. ET, according to the Pennsylvania's secretary of state website. Philadelphia County estimates that they have 92,000 to 95,000 mail-in and absentee ballots left to count.
Trump is currently leading in Pennsylvania, but margins have narrowed as the commonwealth has tallied more voting results and more mail-in ballots have been counted. Trump cannot secure enough votes to win the presidency without winning Pennsylvania.
Casey said that Democrats have learned that they "have to try to get votes everywhere," even in areas where Trump is popular.
"You gotta go everywhere. You have to have a message for every part of the state. And I think that lesson’s been learned," he said. "But even when you do that, you have to accept the fact that sometimes the margins won’t change."
Casey also called Trump "the most effective republican presidential candidate in Pennsylvania I’ve seen since Reagan" in rural parts of the commonwealth, asserting that future Republican presidential candidates will find his record tough to beat.
