US media reported that Democratic candidate Joe Biden is the 46th president of the United States of America, but his rival, outgoing President Donald Trump, said the election has yet to be decided.
NBC, New York Times and Associated Press confirmed Biden’s victory and exceeded the required difference with his rival Trump in Pennsylvania, which is 35,000 votes.
By beating his rival, Trump, in Pennsylvania and Nevada, Biden had 290 votes in the electoral college, which requires only 270 for a candidate to win the presidential race in the United States of America.
In a series of tweets, Biden said, “I am honored that I have been chosen to lead our great country,” adding, “Our job will be difficult and I will be the president of all Americans.”
For her part, the Speaker of the US House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, said that the election of Biden opened a new day of hope in the United States.
In turn, the leader of the Democratic Senate, Chuck Schumer, said that Biden would be a great president for all Americans.
In this context, Biden MP Kamala Harris said: “A lot of work awaits us and we will start with it soon.”
From Delaware, where Biden’s campaign is based, Al-Jazeera correspondent Mohammed Al-Moawad said that there are tight security measures and road closures in the region, and Biden is expected to deliver his speech at 9 am EDT. .
Denial of result
As for outgoing President Donald Trump, he quickly tweeted that “the election has not yet been decided,” adding that Biden was quick to announce his election victory without evidence and falsely.
Trump had left the White House for his golf club, just before the Pennsylvania numbers were announced.
And at a press conference, Trump’s campaign team said the reviews showed Pennsylvania Democratic officials did not analyze the vote-by-mail.
Immediately, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau congratulated Biden on winning the presidency of the United States.
Court order
A judge of the United States Supreme Court in Washington ordered that ballots that arrived after 8 p.m. on Election Day be kept in separate polls in Pennsylvania.
He also issued an order to state and Democratic officials, to confirm that they are complying with previous directives issued by the secretary of state, to keep the ballots that arrived after the polls closed in a separate location.
President Donald Trump’s campaign filed a series of court appeals in various states to challenge the integrity of the mail-in ballot count.
But Judge Samuel Alito did not comply with the Republicans’ request to stop counting the letters that were set aside based on his decision, as he wanted the Republican side that could not lose this key mandate for Trump to remain in the White House.
The Democratic candidate had confirmed – in a speech he delivered early today – his confidence in winning the presidential elections, but without declaring victory, explaining that he was on his way to obtaining more than 300 votes in the electoral college, expressing his hope that tomorrow he would speak to the Americans.
For her part, the speaker of the US House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, described the Democratic candidate Joe Biden as a “president-elect” of the United States.
On the other side, Trump took a less direct tone than the day before when he spoke of “stolen” elections, but remained vague about his intentions, according to a released statement.
Trump had renewed the fraud allegations, without providing any evidence. “If the legal votes are counted, I win easily,” he told reporters at the White House. (And) if illegal votes are counted, they can steal our elections.
For his part, Matt Morgan, general counsel of the Trump campaign, confirmed that the US presidential elections have not yet ended.
Security movements
Meanwhile, Portland, Oregon’s largest city, is witnessing a heavy deployment of American police in anticipation of any protests.
Armed agents patrolled Portland’s disturbed neighborhoods and suburbs during protests the night after the vote in the US presidential election.
In the Manhattan neighborhood of New York City, a march called “Donald Trump is over.”
In Arizona, several Trump supporters gathered outside the polling place in Phoenix, the state capital, coinciding with the ongoing vote counting process.
And in several states where Democratic candidate Joe Biden leads, polling place officials said protesters’ anger at Trump supporters made them fear for the safety of their employees.
In Clark County, Las Vegas, Nevada, protesters rallied in support of President Trump and protested against the conduct of the election and its results.
Some protesters carried banners demanding an end to what they described as theft as a result of the vote.
