House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Friday said that Democratic nominee Joe Biden likely won the presidency, calling him the “president-elect” as he appeared to pull ahead in several key states.

“This morning it is clear that the Biden-Harris ticket will win the White House,” Pelosi told reporters at a weekly press conference. She described Biden, a former vice president, as “a unifier” who is “determined to bring people together.”
