In southeastern Georgia, which traditionally voted Republican, the situation changed when the vote was counted. and Biden won by 1,500 votes.
Meanwhile, Joe Biden’s spokesman, Andrew Bates, threatened Donald Trump saying that if he did not admit defeat, he would be expelled from the White House. “The US authorities are fully capable of deporting intruders from the White House,” the spokesman said.
Biden’s campaign court announced that Joe Biden and later vice-presidential candidate Kamala Harris will give a speech Friday night.
