Former Vice President Joe Biden said in a speech to the public on the afternoon of the 6th (local time): “I’m not worried about those who want to stop me. I won’t let him do that. ”

Former Vice President Biden’s speech, which aired live on television that day, began at 10:49 p.m., well beyond the scheduled night’s news window.

According to the results of the count, it was noted that former Vice President Biden would declare victory in the presidential election, but since the count of competing states such as Pennsylvania was delayed, only the position on the predominant advantage was revealed.

He said, “I’m not going to declare a final victory yet,” he said. “The numbers clearly tell us that we will win this election.”

Former Vice President Biden referred to the reversal of the tide in Georgia and Pennsylvania, which was behind the day before, and said: “It is very clear that we have won a majority of votes across the country.” .

“It has been 24 years since the Democratic Party won in Arizona and 28 years in Georgia,” he added, adding that “the blue wall was rebuilt in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin, which were defeated four years ago.” It was also mentioned that this could secure more than 300 voters.

“Both sides know that tensions are rising due to the tough elections,” he continued, “but we must ensure that all votes are counted, and we must wait calmly and patiently until then.”

On the side of Trump, who said he would not be successful in an objection lawsuit, “people trying to stop (counting) don’t care. Although he wouldn’t let me do that, “We are not enemies. The same American. “” As president, my responsibility is to represent the entire country, including those who voted for me and those who did not. ”

There was no victory declaration in today’s speech, but in fact, as the elected winner, he included content close to the acceptance speech. “The final result cannot be expected. Yesterday we held an expert meeting with Senator Harris (candidate for vice president) to discuss public health and the economic crisis. ” He also said: “On the first day of taking office, we will execute a plan to control the crown.” It is an explanation that you are already preparing for after taking office.

The reason former Vice President Biden displayed a prudent attitude in consolidating his victory was not unrelated to the situation of counting the races and actions of President Trump, who is demanding general objections.

In Pennsylvania, which has been voted the biggest winner, there are still 101,000 mail-in votes and at least 100,000 provisional votes. More than 120,000 votes remain in Georgia.

The Pennsylvania government is in a position to verify the validity of the provisional ballot before the 10th day. Additionally, if the gap between the two candidates falls within 0.5 percentage points as a result of the final recount, a recount procedure is also required. .

The New York Times (NYT) said: “Biden has secured nearly 270 voters, but it is not known when the exact results will be released.” Major media outlets still report that the number of voters insured by both parties at 253 (Biden) versus 214 (Trump).

Former Vice President Biden is believed to have not reached the magic number 270 required to confirm the election.

Former Vice President Biden’s speech was also attended by Senator Camela Harris, Vice President’s former security adviser Jake Sullivan, aide Steve Richetti and Senator Chris Koons, according to the NYT.

In Pennsylvania on the 7th (local time), which marks the fifth day of the poll, former Vice President Biden is ahead of President Trump with 28,833 votes. Georgia is ahead of 98% with 4,395 votes, former Vice President Biden.
