After four inane and insane years, Trump will soon leave the White House; Joe Biden is the new U.S. President-Elect

Joe Biden has been elected the 46th president of the United States, denying Donald Trump a second term and following campaign fraught with argument and name calling (mostly from Trump’s side).

Biden beat Trump in the all-important battle-ground state Pennsylvania which confirmed 99% of its official votes counted by Saturday afternoon that took Biden’s electoral college vote to 284, surpassing the 270 needed to win the seat in the Oval Office.

At first, Trump refused to concede to Biden, saying that his campaign would pursue unspecified legal challenges regarding the results. And blah-blah-blah-blah-blah…

Kamala Harris is now officially the U.S.’s Vice President-Elect and makes history as first woman of colour to be elected as VP.

Messages have been Tweeted and texted from world leaders to congratulate Biden and his running mate, happy to hear the new president’s first sobering words.

“With the campaign over, it’s time to put the rhetoric behind us and come together as a nation,” were the first few words from Biden after the big win.
