Four days after the historic, exhausting and nerve-wracking election, the result after all sun marks is clear. Donald Trump is on his way out of the White House and Joe Biden is on his way in.
On Saturday, November 7, American history will be written. Joe Biden has been named president of CNN, NBC, CBS, Fox News and the Associated Press. Self erkekonservative Fox News reports that Trump has lost the election.
This after new numbers from Pennsylvania made it clear that he is winning in the state. A little later on Saturday night, it became clear that Biden would also win the state of Nevada. According to Fox News, that gives him as many as 290 voters, because they also believe he has won Arizona.
CELEBRATING: Joe Biden has been named the next president of the United States and it is celebrated in the streets of Washington DC.

Although the biggest media have now named Biden the winner, formal processes are still underway in the count, and the result has not been made official.
Furthermore, the results in several states are disputed by the incumbent president. Donald Trump and his team have not presented evidence of their allegations of electoral fraud.
Largest number of votes in history
Biden has won the American election with the largest number of votes in American history. At the same time, Kamala Harris will be the first female vice president ever in the United States.
– America. I am honored that you have chosen me to lead our magnificent country, Biden writes on Twitter.
Joe Biden has changed the description of himself on Twitter from “former vice president” to “incoming president”.

– The job ahead of us will be difficult, but I promise this: I want to be a president for all Americans – whether you voted for me or not.
– I want to take care of the faith you have put in me.
Harris: – We did, Joe
Kamala Harris has also changed the description on Twitter to “incoming vice president”.
– This election is about so much more than Joe Biden or me. It is about the soul of America and our willingness to fight for it. We have a lot of work ahead of us. Let’s get started, Harris writes on Twitter.
Harris later released a video, in which she said in a phone call:
– We did it, Joe. You’re going to be the next president of the United States.
Pennsylvania decided
The state as decided it all in 2016, has once again made it clear who will sit in the White House for the next four years.
As early as Friday night, it became clear that several media outlets declared former Vice President Joe Biden (78) the winner of Pennsylvania and thus bring with him another 20 voters.
That brings Biden over the magic limit of 270 voters. With at least 273 voters, he will be the next president of the United States.
The votes are still counted, and the media have different practices for when they consider a state decided. VG’s figures are provided by DPA, as user CNN as main source:
Since election night, the distribution of so-called voters has been more or less stagnant. The counting of votes has been delayed – and slowly but surely Joe Biden has turned several states where Donald Trump first led.
Four years with President Donald Trump was enough for a clear majority of American voters. Joe Biden wins both the most voters and the total number of votes in the whole country:
With over 74.4 million votes, he is the first presidential candidate in American history to receive over 70 million votes from the population.
Donald Trump has also set a record: He has received at least 70.3 million votes, which is a new record for the Republican Party. There is also a sharp increase from the election four years ago when he received 62.9 million.
