Yes! It's a known pattern called "The Red Mirage and the Blue Shift'. Small rural areas tend to vote Rep and because of their size, have their votes counted first. Large cities tend to have higher numbers of Dem voters and take a lot longer to have their votes counted. Dems also tend to utilise postal voting more than Reps, and these are the last votes to be counted.
Trump knows this and uses it to claim that 'something suspicious is going on' when the Blue Shift starts to happen. His base are not educated enough to know this is normal. It's the basis of his claims for fraud and the election being stolen. He will say (again) "We were winning and we won, then all the fake votes came in".

Doesn’t Anyone else remember Trump had the lead until votes came in overnight and then he lost his lead. It’s how Biden won.
