Joe Biden geçen cumartesi günü 270 delegeyi garantileyerek yeni ABD Başkanı olarak seçildi. Ocak ayında ABD’nin 46. Başkanı olarak 78 yaşında göreve başlayacak olan Biden, ABD tarihinin en yaşlı başkanı olacak. Hindistan ve Jamaika göçmeni bir aileden gelen Kamala Harris, hem ilk kadın Başkan Yardımcısı hem de başkanlık bileti kazanan ilk siyahi ve Asya kökenli Amerikalı kadın olacak. Biden’ın seçimi kazandığı ilan edilince sokaklar festival alanına döndü ve Beyaz Saray önüne akın eden kalabalık gruplar sevinç gösterilerinde bulundu.
3 Kasım seçimlerinin ardından Biden’ın kazandığı açık olmasına rağmen seçimi kazanacağını iddia eden Başkan Trump, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona, Nevada ve Wisconsin eyaletlerinde seçime dair birçok usulsüzlük ve hilenin yapıldığını iddia ederek oy sayımının durdurulması ve bazı oyların sayılmaması için çeşitli davalar açmıştı. Biden’ın kazandığı Georgia ve Wisconsin eyaletlerinde oy farkının çok az olması sebebiyle Trump kampanyası tarafından oy sayımının tekrar yapılması talep edilmişti. Ancak tartışmalı eyaletlerde Trump’ın açmış olduğu davalara katılan Trump’ın avukatlarından bazıları seçimde hile olduğuna inanmadıklarını dile getirdiler.
