Joe Biden

An amazing day in America as the cliffhanger presidential election ended with Democrat Joe Biden and running mate Senator Kamala Harris winning the highest political offices in the USA.

The Associated Press of United State, CNN and NBC confirmed the victory after Biden overtook incumbent Donald Trump in the state of Pennsylvania. Later, Trump allegedly had accused that the Democrats were trying to steal the election and claiming victory before the race was called

In a speech broadcast late in the evening on news channels and television networks, Biden, accompanied by his vice presidential running mate, Kamala Harris, communicated the need to be patient and let the election system count every vote and conclude the election, which he believes he will win.

By Friday morning - two full days after the election-- there is still no president-elect. Four states continue to count paper ballots.

The real end is distant because of court challenges, but it appears that Democrat Joseph Biden will get his win from all the paper ballots still being counted in four states

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden is just six electoral votes away from winning the US election following a thumping victory in the states of Michigan and Wisconsin.

Today the world watches to see whom America chooses as leader for the next four years. Many events and decisions mark President Donald Trump’s performance.

America’s founders built a system in the 17th century that balanced power among the most populous colonies with the smaller as well as less populated agricultural colonies. This is how they got 13 independent colonies to agree on a federal union of states.

More than four days before the actual election date, the early voting and mail-in ballots have surpassed more than 50% of all the votes cast in 2016. The exact number is difficult to calculate because mail-in ballots are at unusual levels because of the pandemic impact on behaviour.
