Democratic challenger Joe Biden has clearly prevailed against Republican President Donald Trump in the US presidential election. As reported by the American media on Friday afternoon (local time), Biden was also able to secure victory in the disputed state of Georgia and thus reaches 306 voters in the final bill. Trump was able to gather 232 voters.
Therefore, the Republican politician has prevailed in the state of North Carolina. In Georgia there were 16 voters to be awarded, in North Carolina 15. Biden had already been declared the winner by US stations on Saturday morning when he obtained the required absolute majority on the electoral committee with 20 votes from the state of Pennsylvania. Trump refuses to acknowledge his defeat. The forecasts came a good hour before Trump’s appearance in the White House rose garden.
Trump had won the 2016 election with Biden’s current expected outcome against then-rival Hillary Clinton: he had 306 voters at the time, Clinton had 232. Trump had spoken of a landslide victory in 2016, though he had fewer votes than Clinton in all the country. Biden was able to differentiate himself from Trump in the popular elections, but the advantage of around five million votes is due almost entirely to the most populous state of California, where Biden achieved a two-thirds majority.
First topic: Covid crisis
US President-elect Joe Biden has called for immediate and urgent government action against the accelerating spread of the corona pandemic. After a meeting with his Corona Council of Experts, Biden said in a written message Friday that the facts presented by medical professionals were alarming.
The crisis requires an immediate and decisive response from the Washington government, Biden said. Unfortunately, this does not exist yet. “I am the president-elect, but I will not be president until next year,” Biden said with a view to taking office on January 20. “The crisis did not respect any date on the calendar, now it is accelerating.”
Across the country, infections, hospital admissions and deaths were increasing, Biden said. “Our doctors, nurses and other healthcare workers are under enormous and increasing pressure.” It will be many months before an effective Covid-19 vaccine is widely available. “An urgent trade is needed today, now, starting with this judgment, beginning with an admission of the current grave situation.” (apa)
