EVENT HIGHLIGHTS
US Presidential Election results 2020: Joseph R Biden Jr will be the 46 President of the United States of America. The Democratic presidential candidate defeated President Donald Trump in a closely contested election. He is the oldest person elected President in the history of the US.
Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris on Sunday (in India) delivered their victory speeches from Wilmington in Delaware after winning the race to the White House, during which they emphasised on the unity, and "healing of America", while also giving the subtle reminder for the decades of struggles by women and their journey to empowerment.
"We have to remember the purpose of our politics isn’t totally unrelenting warfare," he added. His statement comes in stark contrast with that of the incumbent President Donald Trump who has been warning Biden not to claim presidency 'wrongfully' and has accused him of 'stealing election'.
Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump's son-in-law and his senior adviser, has approached the President about conceding the election.
