President-elect Joe Biden (D) will address the nation on Saturday night, his first formal remarks since clinching the White House.

Biden is slated to deliver remarks from the Chase Center in Wilmington, Del., at 8 p.m. ET on Saturday, his campaign said. He will be joined by his wife Jill Biden, Vice President-elect Kamala Harris and her husband Doug Emhoff.

Biden was declared the winner of the 2020 presidential election on Saturday morning by the major networks and the Associated Press after clinching Pennsylvania and its 20 electoral votes. With his victory in the Keystone State, Biden was able to overtake the 270 electoral-vote threshold needed to win the White House.

President Trump has not yet conceded the race to Biden, and his campaign has said that it plans to contest the results in several states through recounts and legal action. Arizona, Georgia and North Carolina remain uncalled, though Biden leads in both Arizona and Georgia. Trump has no viable path to a second term.

November 4, 2020 No Comments

Attention is now on the United States of America, as contest between the incumbent President, Donald Trump and a former Vice President, Joe Biden hinges on what experts have described as a ‘gladiatorial’ battle.

While Donald Trump is seeking a re-election on the Republican platform, Biden is bearing the flag of the Democratic Party.

The US electoral process makes it possible that the candidate with the most votes from the public won’t be the winner.

This is because the President is not chosen directly by the voters, but what is known as the electoral college.

As at the time of filing this update, Joe Biden is leading the polls with 68,997,244 direct votes and 238 electoral college votes while Trump has 66,731,000 votes from the polls and 213 electoral college votes.

A candidate must score 270 electoral votes to be declared winner of the election.

In 2016, Hillary Clinton defeated Donald Trump in the national votes but the former emerged President through the electoral college votes.
