Donald Trump is wrong about Pennsylvania.
He’s wrong about the remaining vote totals and whether Biden can win based on those numbers. (He can.)
He’s wrong about the votes coming from areas in his favor. (They’re not.)

Trump: “We’re up 690,000 votes in Pennsylvania … it’s going to be almost impossible to catch.”
The results of most of PA’s mail ballots aren’t known yet, with at least 1.44 million left to be counted or included in the totals as of 3 a.m., according to PA Dept of State data.

And those votes will almost certainly be heavily for Biden.
First of all, mail ballots in general were used much more by Democrats than Republicans. Even in most counties Trump won in 2016, Democrats outnumbered Republicans when it came to voting by mail.

Second, most mail ballots left to be counted come from Democratic areas.
Philly and its four suburban counties (Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery) and Allegheny County (home of Pittsburgh) have 800k ballots left to be added to the totals. Those will skew strongly for Biden.

So while Trump said the votes still being counted come from “good Pennsylvania areas where they happen to like your president,” more than three out of five of the remaining mail ballots come from counties that voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016.
All of this is why we knew there would be a blue shift. It’s why Pennsylvania hasn’t been called yet.
It’s certainly possible Trump wins the state. Or Biden will.
The numbers can and will keep shifting, and where they stop will determine the winner.
