Joe Biden has been the presumed winner of the election since the victory in Pennsylvania.

Washington, United States:

President-elect Joe Biden won 306 votes in the state-by-state electoral college that decides who wins the White House, compared to 232 for Donald Trump, US media reported on Friday.

Biden solidified his victory over Trump in the U.S. election with a victory in the traditionally Republican-leaning Georgia, called in his favor by CNN, ABC and other networks.

Trump – who also got 306 electoral college votes when he defeated Hillary Clinton in 2016 – took victory in North Carolina, according to CNN and NBC, this time putting his final tally at 232.

Biden has been the presumed winner of the election since victory in Pennsylvania saw him cross the 270-vote threshold on Saturday.

Georgia, one of five states toppled by Biden after entering Trump’s column the last time, had not been won by a Democrat since Bill Clinton in 1992.

Trump took a comfortable lead early in the state as the largely rural vote was counted, but it ended up being the closest race to the country when the cities of Atlanta and Savannah began to compile the votes. results.

Biden is currently up about 14,000 votes and a manual recount is expected to be completed next week. Statewide election audits never deliver the kind of reversal Trump would need to change the outcome.

In traditionally Republican North Carolina, a push to get black voters out by Democrats was not enough to defeat Trump’s hugely loyal base of unqualified white males and rural voters.

Trump, who refused to admit defeat, was due to address the public later Friday for the first time since becoming the intended loser six days ago.

It was unclear whether he would answer questions or finally address his defeat, but Trump has repeatedly called his 306-vote victory in 2016 a “landslide” and “bombardment.”
