US Elections 2020: Some Americans dance, Some seen with guns at vote-counting sites

As the third day of post-election ballot-counting brought the Democratic former Vice Preesident, Joe Biden, closer to winning the White House, his supporters danced in Philadelphia's streets on Friday. Meanwhile armed backers of President Donald Trump in Phoenix shouted, "Stop the steal."

In Detroit, several hundred supporters of Donald Trump, some carrying guns, raised premature chants of "We won!" outside a vote-counting center for Michigan's largest city.

Philadelphia became the most populous and ballot-rich city in Pennsylvania - a must-win electoral prize for Trump even as Biden surpassed the president on Friday in the state's vote count.

Some Trump supporters, taking a cue from the president, insisted something must be wrong with any count showing Biden winning, and brought rifles and handguns with them to rallies outside tabulation centers in Detroit and Phoenix.

Wearing "Make America Great Again" red baseball caps and another pro-Trump garb, some fell to their knees in public prayer.
