Biden Wins US Presidential Election Vote Count

JAKARTA - Democratic candidate Joe Biden won the United States (US) Election. This news has been confirmed by Edison Research and a number of television networks.

The victory was won by Biden when voters firmly rejected the rowdy leadership of incumbent Republican Donald Trump to welcome Biden's promises of new efforts to fight the coronavirus pandemic, mend the economy and heal a divided nation.

Biden, 77, became the oldest candidate elected as US president because Trump significantly failed to expand his appeal to reach groups beyond rural white voters and the working class who are committed to supporting right-wing populism and "America First" nationalism.

Edison Research and a number of major television networks, including CNN and NBC, have projected that Biden will pocket the more than 270 Electoral College votes needed to emerge victorious in the complex state-based presidential election system, despite Trump's campaign debating vote counting in court and attempted a recount in one state.

Biden excels with 290 Electoral College votes over 214 in the state-by-state Electoral College vote that determines the winner, having won 20 Pennsylvania electoral votes to place him above 270, the number needed to secure the presidency, according to Edison Research.
