Victory for Joe Biden: “It’s time for America to unite and heal” – BBC News

Joe Biden said he has “honor and humility” after winning the U.S. presidential election. The state of Pennsylvania and Nevada won the required 270 Electoral University voting threshold. In a statement, the election president said, “In the face of unprecedented obstacles, a record number of Americans voted. Proving once again that democracy is deeply at the heart of America. It’s time for America to unite. And to heal.” It has been the largest turnout since the 1900s. Mr. Biden has won more than 73 million votes, the highest number ever recorded for a U.S. presidential candidate. The results deny Donald Trump’s second term after a divisive presidency defined by the coronavirus pandemic, painful cultural wars and social unrest.
