Joe Biden has won the 2020 presidential election, the Associated Press projected Saturday, sending President Trump to a bitter defeat four years after he shocked the world by winning the White House with a victory over Hillary Clinton.
Biden crossed the 270-vote threshold in the Electoral College on Saturday after the AP called Pennsylvania for him. He was also able to capture Wisconsin, Michigan and Arizona, states that Trump carried in 2016.
Other states remain too close to call, and the Trump campaign has filed multiple lawsuits to contest the legitimacy of certain ballots. The fate of those challenges was obscured after Biden was projected to have won the Electoral College.
His running mate, Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., became the first Black woman and first Asian American elected vice president in U.S. history.
“I am honored and humbled by the trust the American people have placed in me and in Vice President-elect Harris,” Biden said in a statement. “In the face of unprecedented obstacles, a record number of Americans voted. Proving once again, that democracy beats deep in the heart of America.
“With the campaign over, it’s time to put the anger and the harsh rhetoric behind us and come together as a nation,” the president-elect continued. “It’s time for America to unite. And to heal.”
He added: “We are the United States of America. And there’s nothing we can’t do, if we do it together.”
Biden and Harris were scheduled to address the nation from Wilmington, Del., at 8 p.m. ET Saturday.
Spontaneous celebrations broke out in cities across the country, including New York, Washington, D.C., and Atlanta, as residents took to the streets for impromptu dance parties. Hundreds of anti-Trump demonstrators also gathered in front of the White House, although the president is currently golfing in Virginia.
Pro-Trump rallies also sprung up. In Lansing, Mich., dozens of Trump supporters gathered outside the State Capitol Building, chanting “four more years” about an hour after the race was called.

Biden now holds the record for the most number of votes cast for any presidential candidate in history — more than 74 million — shattering the previous mark (69,500,000) set by Barack Obama in 2008. Trump also surpassed Obama’s record, but trails Biden by more than 4 million in the popular vote.
The former vice president, who turns 78 this month, won his bid for the White House on his third attempt, becoming the oldest person ever elected president in the U.S.
Trump, however, signaled that he is not likely to concede defeat anytime soon. Throughout the week, he has continued to make false and unsubstantiated claims about the vote-counting process, offering no evidence to support them.
In a statement released after numerous networks called the election for Biden, Trump vowed to continue fighting the result in court.
“We all know why Joe Biden is rushing to falsely pose as the winner, and why his media allies are trying so hard to help him: they don’t want the truth to be exposed.” Trump’s statement read. “The simple fact is this election is far from over.”
“Beginning Monday, our campaign will start prosecuting out case in court to ensure election laws are fully upheld and the rightful winner is seated,” the president continued.
He added: “I will not rest until the American People have the honest vote count they deserve and that Democracy demands.”
Trump campaign has yet to provide any evidence of a dishonest vote count.

Now he’ll probably legalize pedophilia for the entire nation, like in Commiefornia.
Yay. We’re now going from corporate communism to Marxist communism.
Looks like it and this seems like the war for our Bill of Rights will soon start. I can’t help but remember Henry stating we will lose many American National’s in this fight. I feel a very heavy feeling on my heart like the gates of hell have opened.
Make it count. That’s all.
ditto that!
I hear ya sister
“Masked Biden supporters suspend social distancing to cheer his victory“
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/major-cities-cheer-biden-presidency
Oh! So when a new king becomes elected, we can suspend social distancing, but any other time we have police in riot gear beating the shit out of everyone.
I see how it is.
New boss…. same as the old boss.
Right! Cuz the real bosses, those in the real fancy suits, march on.
Changing of the corporate guard is all. Powerless puppet, we all know it. The real owners of this country as George Carlin so rightly declared, will continue to rape, pillage, thieve, etc, etc, while this buffoon opens his mouth and we all laugh at what’s coming out. The suits, it’s always the suits. Never forget the suits.
It ain’t over till the fat lady sings

And that fat lady ain’t Kammy ol’ gal…or Killary! Bwahahahahahahahahahahahah!
How’se about I sing….”Kammy, Kammy, Kammy….Kammy Kammyleon….” (with apologies to Boy George and the Culture Club)
🙂
You can feel the pulse, you can see all that is planned and coming down.
The future is the Checkist and we have already understood this.
I truly hope they are really moving fwd with this circus, it will not have the desired results they intend.
The suits should be shaking a bit more me thinks… our time approaches… your UN Peacekeepers Will not succeed when they get here..!
DTTNWO Eternal
‘ your UN Peacekeepers Will not succeed when they get here..! ‘ those that survive (hopefully none) will return to their lands to tell others of the savagery unleashed upon them, a savagery their controllers did not warn them about. Do not hesitate, take advantage of their false confidence. Run scenarios through your mind, tactics and strategy. I’ve been doing so for ten years. Know this, everything is a weapon!
Just proves further more for me
That I don’t require governance
Get off my fcking lawn or pay with your life
The entire joke needs dismantling
Should have been done 100 years ago
No time like right the Fck now!
Shed the chains of your oppression
Reject all rulers
NOT MY CIRCUS.
NOT MY MONKEYS.
I was incorrect in my projection that Trump would be re-selected, although not entirely. What we are witnessing is what the transition integrity project TIP scenario has laid out. Even down to FOX news reporting that Biden had won. This statement is in the scenario. And FOX did announce this. This is a joo run scenario by the way. Of course Trump is going to fight the results as laid out in TIP.
yup, and while eyes are on the center ring the commie agenda marches on
