Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election today (November 7), sending President Trump to a bitter defeat four years after he shocked the world by winning the White House with an unexpected victory over Hillary Clinton, according to the Yahoo News website.
Biden crossed the 270-vote threshold in the Electoral College today after the Associated Press called Pennsylvania for him. He also received over 77 million popular votes -- the most of any presidential candidate ever.
The Trump campaign has filed multiple lawsuits in several states to contest the legitimacy of certain ballots, but those lawsuits are not expected to affect Biden's presidential victory.
Biden's running mate, Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Cal., became the first Black woman and first Asian American elected vice president in U.S.history. Biden, 77, is also the oldest person ever to be elected president.
