ITS OVER! Joe Biden Beats Donald Trump To Win 2020 US Presidential Election
November 7, 2020
JOE Biden has vowed to be “President for all Americans” after dramatically sealing election victory today.
Victory in Pennsylvania put Biden firmly over the magical 270 electoral college vote mark with 273 after days of suspense in one of the most nail-biting races in US political history.
According to the AP and CNN, the former VP has captured the 20 electoral votes from the crunch state – propelling him into the White House as the 46th President of the United States.
Reacting to news of his win, the President-elect tweeted: “America, I’m honored that you have chosen me to lead our great country.
“The work ahead of us will be hard, but I promise you this: I will be a President for all Americans — whether you voted for me or not.
“I will keep the faith that you have placed in me.”
Biden fought back a deficit in several battleground states riding a huge wave in mail-in ballots which Trump branded “fraudulent” and repeatedly demanded counting be stopped.
The Republican firebrand today once again claimed he “WON THIS ELECTION” as he fumed on Twitter before playing around of golf at his course in Virginia.
News of Biden’s historic win has sparked celebrations on the streets of American cities.
Video footage posted on social media shows people whooping for joy in Manhattan and Harlem in the Democratic stronghold of New York City.
Biden took the lead in battleground states Georgia and Pennsylvania on Friday – which inched him closer to the Oval Office.
Last night, the democrat gave a presidential-style speech from Delaware asking people to be more “civil with one another” amid ugly scenes with protesters clashing and gun wielding mob storming vote counts.
Biden said: “We may be opponents, but we’re not enemies. We’re Americans.
“We don’t have any more time to waste on partisan warfare.”
Trump had repeatedly urged his supporters to vote in person and his base has tended to be more bullish in the face of coronavirus.
But Biden’s backers were more cautious and many opted to send their ballots in the post, causing the late surge.
Trump sensationally accused Biden’s campaign of carrying out a “fraud on the American public”, but failed to offer evidence for his claims.
Today, he once again raged on Twitter about “tens of thousands” of “illegal” votes.
This comes as campaign insiders claim Trump has not prepared a concession speech and has told allies that he has no intention of admitting defeat, CNN reports.
