Trump claims his lead over Biden 'miraculously' disappeared as he retweets attacks on Fox News, mail-in ballots, and late votes being 'counted' during the VP's speech

Donald Trump spent Friday evening tweeting furiously to air a series of fraud conspiracies, while his rival Joe Biden addressed the nation to call for calm and reassure voters that their ballots would be counted.
As the sun set on Friday, and as yet more results showed the race turning for Biden in Georgia, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Arizona, Trump, 74, was threatening legal action.
'Joe Biden should not wrongfully claim the office of the President,' he said.
'I could make that claim also. Legal proceedings are just now beginning!'
He also shared attacks on Fox News calling Arizona early in the race, claims that mail-in ballots postmarked after election day were counted and suggestions that poll watchers were barred from watching counts.
Biden hoped to celebrate a presidential victory on Friday with his late-night speech at the Chase Center in Wilmington, Delaware, with running mate Kamala Harris at his side.
He said it's 'clear' he's going to win, but the counting process continued in the key states of Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona and Nevada, where he is expanding his lead.
Pennsylvania alone
would take him to 273 electoral college votes, while if Arizona and
Nevada declare before the Keystone state, he would hit 270. If he takes
all four – which appears very likely, he would have 302 electoral
college votes, the same as Trump, but in contrast, a thumping popular
vote majority of more than four million.
