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!”.

Extending his lead in Pennsylvania, it’s the one state that on its own could end Trump’s hopes of staying in power. At almost 78 years of age, Joe Biden will become America’s oldest serving President by the time of his official inauguration in January 2021.
