2020 election updates:

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden urged unity in his Friday evening's speech as his lead grows in the presidential race.

Iran PressAmerica: Joe Biden urged unity in a brief address Friday evening in Delaware, calling for an end to the "partisan warfare" that has characterized American politics in recent years. Before he spoke, the Democratic nominee had pulled ahead of President Trump in the critical battleground states of Georgia and Pennsylvania, and he still maintained a lead in Arizona and Nevada.

"The purpose of our politics isn't to wage total and unrelenting war. It's to solve problems," Biden said. "We may be opponents, but we're not enemies. We're Americans."

Although news outlets have not yet called the race for Biden, he expressed confidence that he would ultimately be victorious.

Joe Biden, the Democratic candidate in the 2020 US presidential election, is ahead of Trump in the electoral vote counting.

Each candidate must get at least 270 electoral votes to reach the White House.
