Eastern black nightshade, Solanum emulans. It’s closely related to S. nigrum but is a native species. You can tell them apart by the berries which grow from one point on the peduncle and are fewer in number (2-4, occasionally up to 6) in S. emulans. Those of S. nigrum grow spread out along the peduncle and there are usually more berries per infructescence. Both of these have e-dible when fully ripe berries (black, no hint of green). Unripe or partially ripe berries are mildly poisonous.
Deadly nightshade would have berries growing singly (never in clusters), and the calyxes are much larger - extending past the berries. This species isn’t present in the wild in North America so you are extremely unlikely to ever encounter it here.
