‘I love you Georgia,’ John, 41, said at the end of the video.
On Friday morning Joe Biden was edging closer to victory in the presidential race as he overtook the lead in the key battleground states of Pennsylvania and Georgia in potentially decisive moments.
With forecasts putting him just one state from victory, the Democratic challenger surpassed Donald Trump in the swing states as officials continued counting votes.
Former vice president Mr Biden overhauled the Republican incumbent’s leads by more than 5,000 votes in Pennsylvania and around 1,000 in Georgia.
Mr Trump, who is mounting legal challenges to improve his chances of re-election amid baseless allegations of fraud, has to win both of those states if he is to stay in contention.

Georgia, which the president won by more than 200,000 votes in 2016, has not been won by the Democrats since 1992. Pennsylvania, Mr Biden’s birth state, was narrowly seized from the Democrats by Mr Trump in the last election.
On Thursday Chrissy was still glued to her television like most Americans awaiting results from the 2020 presidential election.
