US election: Joe Biden changed his Twitter biography to president-elect after defeating Donald Trump
New Delhi:
One of the first jobs Joe Biden did after beating Donald Trump in a cliffhanger election was to change his Twitter bio – from a Democrat running for president to president-elect. Joe Biden, 77, defeated Donald Trump, 74, to become the 46th U.S. president after toppling the outgoing president at a time when the United States is reeling from the coronavirus pandemic, political polarization and the weakening of the economy.
“President-elect, husband of @DrBiden, proud father and grandfather. Ready to build better for all Americans,” Joe Biden said in his updated biography on Twitter.
America, I am honored that you have chosen me to lead our great country.
The work ahead will be difficult, but I promise you this: I will be the president of all Americans – whether you vote for me or not.
I will keep the faith you have placed in me. pic.twitter.com/moA9qhmjn8

“America, I am honored that you have chosen me to lead our great country. The job ahead of us will be difficult, but I promise you this: I will be the president of all Americans – whether you vote for me or not. I will keep the trust you have placed in me, ”the president-elect tweeted, with a video that shows a diverse United States with people of different ethnicities coming together.
“With the campaign over, it’s time to put the anger and harsh rhetoric behind us and come together as a nation,” Joe Biden said in a separate statement. “It’s time for America to unite. And to heal.”
Active in local Delaware politics, Joe Biden marked a major surprise at the age of 30 by ousting a well-established Republican senator in the 1972 election. A few weeks later, Joe Biden’s wife and daughter died in a car accident. He considered resigning to care for his injured sons Beau and Hunter, but was persuaded to stay and was sworn in on January 5, 1973. He was re-elected to the upper house of Congress continuously until 2008.
Joe Biden was chosen by Barack Obama as his running mate and entered the White House with him in January 2009, in the midst of the global financial crisis.
In 2019, he launched his campaign to beat Donald Trump and finally win the White House. After a rocky start, he rebounded to victory in the Democratic primary, bolstered by his support among African Americans, and became the party’s presidential candidate. In the end, after a campaign unlike any other, waged amid the coronavirus pandemic, he turned down Donald Trump a second term.
