Democratic presidential candidate and former Vice President Joe Biden decided to address the country as “president-elect” on Saturday night despite mounting legal challenges, primarily from the campaign of President Donald Trump, over how ballot counting has unfolded in the hotly contested 2020 election.
“I am humbled by the trust and confidence you have placed in me,” Biden said from Wilmington, Delaware, adding that he would “work with all my heart to win the confidence of the whole people,” referring to Americans who did not vote for him.
