All major US news networks and the Associated Press have called the race for Joe Biden with it being reported that he is now deemed the President-Elect.
After a tense week of election counts, it’s being reported that Joe Biden is projected to win the race for president against current POTUS Donald Trump.
On 273 votes, Biden is now beyond the 270 Electoral College votes required to win the election. Donald Trump has yet to concede defeat with his latest tweet claiming that he is, in fact, the victor and that he won the election “by a lot!”.
