#USElectionResults2020: Trump Reacts As Biden Declares That He Is Prepared To Begin Official Duties As President—77-year-old Joe Biden has confidently declared on Friday night that he had begun preparation to assume work as President of the United States.
The Democrat leader who is running for the US presidency with Kamala Harris as Vice President gave a speech from Wilmington, Delaware. Recent report by ATP reveals that Biden is ahead with 264 electoral college votes against Trump’s 214.
“We don’t have a final declaration of victory yet, but the numbers tell us it’s clear. We are going to win this race,” he stated.
As of the time of the speech, Biden’s lead over President Donald Trump was growing in Arizona, Georgia, Nevada and Pennsylvania where Trump was initially ahead.
According to Reuters, Biden’s address was originally planned as a victory speech, but he changed his approach in the absence of formal declaration of a winner.
“We’re beating Donald Trump by over four million votes, and that’s a margin that is still growing as well.
“One of the things I’m especially proud of is how well we’ve done well across America,” he said.
Meanwhile, Trump has remained defiant, warning Biden in a tweet not to “wrongfully claim” victory.
“Joe Biden should not wrongfully claim the office of the President. I could make that claim also. Legal proceedings are just now beginning!,” he said.
