Former U.S. vice president, Joe Biden, has been elected the 46th president of the United States of America. The 78 year old won the keenly-fought election by scoring 273 electoral college votes against incumbent President Donald Trump’s 214.
An hour earlier, Trump had tweeted “I WON THIS ELECTION, BY A LOT!”
Kamala Harris, Biden’s running mate, has now made history as the first woman to be elected U.S. vice president. The result of the election was announced Saturday after several tense days of vote-counting in many battlegrounds. Before the election day on Tuesday, about 100 million votes had been cast.
Senator Harris tweeted: “This election is about so much more than @JoeBiden or me. It’s about the soul of America and our willingness to fight for it. We have a lot of work ahead of us. Let’s get started.”
