Democratic candidate Joe Biden won the presidential election. This was announced by the leading American media based on the results of the vote count in Pennsylvania, where Biden was ahead of Donald Trump. The victory in this state brings Biden 20 votes of electors - thus, it receives 273 votes with the required 270 (at Trump 214). The counting of votes in Georgia, Arizona, Nevada and North Carolina has not yet been completed: in the first three states, Biden leads with a minimal margin.
“America, it is a great honor for me to be the chosen idea of our great country,” Bayden wrote on Twitter. “We will find a difficult job, but what I promise you: I will be president of all Americans - you voted for me or not. I will justify your trust.”
“Now, at the end of the campaign, it is time to leave anger and rigid rhetoric behind, the nation should unite,” says Biden’s message, which his headquarters sent to the subscribers on Male.
After the completion of the formal counting of votes in all states, the collegium 538 electors will gather in December and will officially declare Biden the president. The new head of state must take office on January 20.
For the first time since 1992, the current president failed to elect for a second term. For the first time in history, the US Vice President becomes a woman - former Prosecutor General of California Kamal Harris.
Harris congratulates Biden: "We did this, Joe."
Trump refuses to recognize the defeat. “These elections are far from completion,” he said after his opponent was declared the winner. “We all know why Joe Biden is in a hurry to pretend that he won, and why his allies in the media try to help him so much: they do not want the truth to come out,” Trump concluded.
The current president accused the democrats of electoral fraud. According to Trump, he is trying to "steal the election."
"I won the election with a large margin!" - It is said in the last Saturday tweet Trump.
Trump's headquarters demanded to recalculate the voices in Wisconsin. The courts in the three states have already rejected Trump's headquarters about the temporary suspension of vote counting.
On the eve of contacting the nation, Biden said that he hopes to get more than 300 votes of electors. Georgia can bring him 16 votes, Arizona - 11, Nevada - 6. Bayden recalled that in Arizona, a presidential candidate from the Democrats wins for the first time in 24 years, in Georgia - for the first time in 28 years. “We are restoring the“ blue wall ”, destroyed four years ago (I mean 18 states where the Democratic Party won successively since 1992. - Ed.): Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin - the very heart of the country,” Biden said.
In Pennsylvania, according to the results of processing, 98% of the ballots Biden gained 49.6% of the vote, Trump - 49.1%, the gap was 34 thousand votes.
Trump wins in North Carolin - 50.1 percent of voters voted for him.
Bayden on Friday emphasized that he received more than 74 million votes - this is a historical record in the presidential election. "With every hour, it becomes more and more clear that the record number of Americans - all races and religions - chose changes." Meanwhile, in absolute numbers, Trump improved its result compared to the 2016 elections.
