The defeat is so shameful that US President Donald Trump still refuses to admit it. His successor beat him.
Newly elected President Joe Biden won 306 voters in the US elections, according to television stations, significantly more than the 270 needed.
By reckoning, he had won the elections in the traditionally Republican state of Arizona. After the AP news agency and Fox News television station declared him the winner in Arizona on election night last week, NBC News and CNN stations did the same on Thursday night (local time).
Eleven voters participated in the southwestern state of the United States. Arizona has long been considered a safe bastion for Republicans. Since the 1952 election year, Republican presidential candidates have almost always won there. The exception was the 1996 election year, when Democrat Bill Clinton won there. Republican President Donald Trump brought North Carolina to the state. These were the last two states that had not yet declared winners.
Great advantage
With absolute votes in the US presidential election, election winner Joe Biden has expanded his lead to more than five million votes. According to preliminary results, Biden was elected by 77.38 million Americans, 5.1 million more votes than incumbent Donald Trump.
Biden’s result surpasses Barack Obama’s highest number of votes in his first election in 2008 with 69.5 million. Since then, however, the American population has also increased by about 25 million.
In the American electoral system, it is not the absolute number of votes that is decisive in winning the presidential election, but the respective majority in the states. This decides to send voters to an electoral assembly (Electoral College).
