Former US President Barack Obama expressed his pride in congratulating “incoming President Joe Biden and incoming First Lady Jill,” referring to the challenges people faced in the elections.
Obama said, in a statement posted on his Twitter account, “In these elections, and in conditions we have never experienced, Americans have come in numbers we have never seen, and after counting every vote, President-elect Biden and his MP-elect Harris will announce a historic and fateful victory. “
And Obama added: “We are fortunate that Biden has the qualifications for the presidency, and he has already begun to show it, because when he enters the White House next January, he will face a series of unusual challenges that a president has never seen before: a raging pandemic, an uneven economy and risks. ” The judicial system, democracy and a tense climate are witnesses. “
He said, “I know that he (Biden) will do his job, putting the interests of Americans at heart, who voted for him and did not vote for him. I encourage all Americans to give him a chance and give him support.”
Obama added that “the results of the current elections show, at every stage, that the country is witnessing a deep and bitter division.”

And the American media announced that Biden and Harris had won the presidency of the United States, after the Democratic candidate was announced in Pennsylvania.

For his part, the president of the United States, Donald Trump, refused, on Saturday, to acknowledge his defeat, saying: “The elections are not over yet.”
