Biden called the results of the vote «a clear victory ”, the opponent Donald Trump won.
«306 voters: exactly the same number of electoral votes as Donald Trump and (VP Mike) Pence got it when they won in 2016. At the time, President Trump described the number of voters for whom he was elected as “devastating.” By their own standards, these results represented a clear victory at the time, and I will assume they are now, ”he said.
Biden condemned the incumbent’s attempts to challenge the election results, noting that «In the United States, it is not the politicians who obtain power, the people endow it. “ «USA – the beacon of democracy ”was replaced by“ flame of democracy ”.
In his speech, the Democrat also listed the priority tasks of his administration, including fighting the coronavirus pandemic, vaccinating the population and restoring the national economy.
«We have work to do immediately. We will have to stop the pandemic, vaccinate the population, provide urgent economic assistance to Americans in need, and then make the economy better than ever, “he said.
According to the results of the electoral votes, Biden received 306 votes against 232 from Trump, who does not recognize the electoral results.
The results of the electoral vote must be approved by Congress on January 6.
