Joe Biden to Become 46th President of the United States

On November 7, Joe Biden was projected to be the winner of the 2020 Presidential Election. While some states like Nevada took extra time to finish counting their votes, Joe Biden was announced as the winner with 290 electoral votes, with some states, like Georgia, finishing their tallies.

On the night of November 3, incumbent Donald Trump was projected to win. However, once the mail-in ballots began to be counted, the election flipped in favor of Biden.

Biden was able to swing several key states such as Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan in his favor and was able to take the lead from Trump. A priority for the Biden campaign this year was rebuilding the “Blue Wall” which was lost by Hillary Clinton in 2016. For several of these states, the votes were within a single percentage point from each other. As the votes were counted, the states flipped between blue and red enough to make make it anyone’s race.

Despite Biden being announced as the winner of the election, there have been some allegations of voter fraud in states like Wisconsin. Though some cases are being thrown by the judiciary out due to a lack of evidence. These rumors could still be a source of controversy over the coming weeks, as the Trump campaign plans to explore legal avenues to challenge the election.

On a positive note, the end of the election seems to be resolving peacefully. As of publication time, there haven’t been any reports of mass violence or riots after the election had been called. Though there are still protests taking place, none have turned violent.

On January 20, Joe Biden will be officially sworn in as the 46th President of the United States with Sen. Kamala Harris as his Vice-President. As he takes office, Biden will have the challenge of the COVID-19 pandemic to see to. It remains to be seen how well he will be able to handle the pandemic,

but many are hopeful that it will be a change for the better.
