[ad_1]

After recalculation, lawsuits, and various accusations about electoral fraud of current President Donald Trump, it is finally time for voters to formally name the next US President and Vice President.

– You have come a long way. But we won’t have a result for several hours, says Stefan Åsberg, SVT’s US correspondent. SVT: s Aktuellt just after 9pm on Monday.

Is there anything to suggest it won’t be Biden?

– Not really.

The limit – 270 votes

If all 538 voters vote according to the results of the state elections in November, 306 votes should go to Democrat Joe Biden and 232 votes to incumbent Republican President Trump. 270 votes are needed to win.

Is it clear today that Biden will become president?

– No, not really. It is a very unusual electoral move because Donald Trump does not declare defeat.

– On January 20 next year, the president takes an oath, says Stefan Åsberg.
