Every major U.S. decision-making desk projected that Biden would receive at least 273 electoral votes when the race was called. In contrast, incumbent President Donald Trump was expected to receive 214. According to the New York Times, though votes are still being counted in a few states, Biden had received 74,488,579 votes and Trump had received 70,337.214. Biden immediately changed his Twitter bio from “President-elect” to encourage unity across the country, regardless of whether they voted for him. America, I am honored to be chosen by you to lead our great nation.

Although the work ahead of us is difficult, I can promise you that I will be a President who cares about all Americans regardless of whether or not you voted for my candidacy.

I will keep the faith you have placed in my. pic.twitter.com/moA9qhmjn8 Harris also tweeted a video: We did it, @JoeBiden. pic.twitter.com/oCgeylsjB4 In Jackson, a group of roughly 80 people gathered on Saturday afternoon outside the state Capitol to wave Trump flags protest the vote count.
