Joe Biden on Saturday defeated Donald Trump in the presidential election to become the 46th president of the United States.The Associated Press declared Joe Biden the winner of a grueling campaign for the American presidency four days after elections were held in the country. “He will lead a polarized nation through a historic collision of health, economic and social crises,” AP said.
Biden tweeted his gratitude at being elected the president. “America, I’m honored that you have chosen me to lead our great country. The work ahead of us will be hard, but I promise you this: I will be a President for all Americans — whether you voted for me or not. I will keep the faith that you have placed in me,” he tweeted.The Democrats’ victory comes amid claims of a rigged election by the Donald Trump led Republican Party. Trump, refusing to concede defeat, said that Joe Biden was “rushing to falsely pose as the winner” after television networks declared the Democrat’s victory.
