Biden wins US presidential elections

SANAA, Nov. 7 (YPA) – Democrat Joe Biden has won the White House, US media said  on Saturday.

CBS, NBC and CNN news networks announced the result just before 11:30 am (1630 GMT) as an insurmountable lead in Pennsylvania took Biden, 77, over the top in the state-by-state count that decides the presidency,  AFP reported.

“America, I’m honored that you have chosen me to lead our great country,” Biden said in a statement.

“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.”

Trump quickly responded to the announcement by accusing Biden of falsely declaring himself the next president.

“We all know why Joe Biden is rushing to falsely pose as the winner, and why his media allies are trying so hard to help him: they don’t want the truth to be exposed,” Trump said in a statement.
