It’s Over!: Joe Biden Defeats Donald Trump As US Voters Reject 4 Years Of Chaos, Racism And Division
America has chosen Democrat Joe Biden as its 46th president after voters resoundingly rejected President Donald Trump’s chaotic and deeply polarizing first term.
Biden’s running mate, Sen. Kamala Harris of California, made history by becoming the nation’s first female, Black, and Indian American vice president.
Biden surpassed the 270 electoral votes required to win the White House by flipping the battleground states of Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, according to projections by MSNBC. Georgia, North Carolina, and Nevada are continuing to count ballots in their tight races.
Biden won over 4 million more votes than Trump as of Saturday, a lead that’s likely to grow as states finalize their results in the coming days and weeks.
With Biden’s victory, Trump becomes the 13th president to lose reelection and just the fourth to do so since the end of World War II.
Fox News, CNN and The New York Times have also projected Joe Biden to be the winner of the 2020 presidential election.
