US Presidential Election 2020: Joe Biden comes up on top to win the US Presidential Election 2020, after a fierce competition against one of the most unconventional candidates and the former President of the United States, Donald Trump, ending by far the most turbulent presidential term in the history of the US. This victory came in after a cliff hanger vote count after Tuesday’s election.
The election recorded the highest turnout since 1990, with Biden clinching more than 74 million votes, the most ever for a US presidential candidate. This victory was made sure after Biden’s win on the key battleground of Pennsylvania, propelling him over the 270 electoral college vote threshold required to clinch the White House.
Biden made first address as President Elect: “I pledge to be a President who seeks not to divide, but to unify. Who doesn’t see Red and Blue states, but a United States.” Moreover, the former President Barack Obama, with whom Mr Biden served two terms as vice-president, offered his congratulations and said: “I know he’ll do the job with the best interests of every American at heart, whether or not he had their vote.”
Donald Trump, on the other hand, has refused to concede and vowed to contest the result of the elections on several fronts. He claims to be a victim of a wide-ranging conspiracy fabricated by several states, cities, and counties, in an attempt at the elections, but with no factual evidence. “This is a case where they’re trying to steal an election,” he said. “They’re trying to rig an election, and we can’t let that happen.” These were his first words after the results, addressing the public in a 17-minute television statement.
US Presidential Election 2020: The latest Tweet from Donald Trump
Calling media as ‘Lamestream media’, the same media which he has been exploiting for the past 4 years. Or maybe he has confused the term media with ‘Data’. That’s Data showed that who our next president will be.
Since when does the Lamestream Media call who our next president will be? We have all learned a lot in the last two weeks!

Well, his above tweet should imply that “Since when does a President not concede after losing? We have all learned a lot in the last 4 years”.
Although some Republicans have criticized Mr. Trump for making false accusations of voter fraud, party leaders are in a tough position because they know that the president maintains tremendous support among the party base. Although Mr. Trump lost the election, 70 million votes were earned, more than 7 million more than his final count four years ago.
Clearly, it’s very hard for him to digest the fact that he has lost by huge numbers, or Democrats won on a campaign of hate. For his good health sake, he should not dispute that against the result when he actually spent that entire election season talking about how that election was rigged as well.

“We believe these people are thieves. The big city machines are corrupt. This was a stolen election. Best pollster in Britain wrote this morning that this clearly was a stolen election, that it’s impossible to imagine that Biden outran Obama in some of these states.
