In addition to high turnout in Philadelphia, the Harris campaign is encouraged by two big trends in Pennsylvania: Puerto Rican turnout and student turnout are both high, CNN reports.

Voting lines at Lehigh University near Allentown stood for seven hours today, according to the campaign. It has dispatched surrogates and supporters to keep students in line. They are also moving to try to extend voting hours there.

In Philadelphia, according to the campaign, the three wards that have the highest concentration of Puerto Rican voters nearly reached their 2020 turnout levels by mid-day today.
