Result of the 2020 American elections: Joe Biden ensured action against Covid.
Wilmington, Delaware:
Democrat Joe Biden said on Friday he would win the US presidency as his lead grows over President Donald Trump in the battlefield states, although TV stations have refrained from declaring him the winner as officials continued to count the votes.
“The numbers tell us … it’s a clear and compelling story: we’re going to win this race,” Biden said, adding that he and his running mate Kamala Harris are already meeting with experts as they prepare for the White House. .
Biden’s speech was originally intended as a celebration of victory, but he changed its approach in the absence of an official call from TV stations and other election forecasters.
Still, it presented a brutal challenge for Trump, who had remained out of sight in the White House on Friday as Biden’s lead increased in the four states that will decide the outcome: Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona and Nevada. .
Leading Trump by 4.1 million votes nationwide out of a record 147 million votes, Biden said Americans gave him a mandate to tackle the coronavirus pandemic, the struggling economy, climate change and systemic racism.
“They made it clear that they want the country to come together, not continue to separate,” Biden said.
He said he hoped to address the Americans again on Saturday.
Trump remained provocative, vowing to make unsubstantiated fraud claims as his Republicans sought to raise $ 60 million to fund lawsuits challenging the results. But some in his camp have described the legal effort as disorganized and, so far, have not found success in court.
On day four of the vote count, former Vice President Biden had a 253-to-214 lead in the state-by-state constituency vote that determines the winner, according to Edison Research.
Getting Pennsylvania’s 20 electoral votes would put Biden above the 270 he needs to win the presidency after a political career spanning nearly five decades.
Biden would also win if he won in two of the other three key states. Like Pennsylvania, all three were still processing the ballots on Friday.
