Bonjour,
After four days of tense waiting, demonstrations and threats of legal challenge, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris emerged as the next President and Vice-President of the United States on Saturday 7 November.
In the absence of a national election body, it was the media organisation Associated Press which called wins for the Democratic ticket in Pennsylvania and Nevada, taking Biden-Harris to 290 electoral college votes, 20 more than the 270 needed. President Trump's campaign still refuses to accept defeat , and intends to continue launching legal contests to individual states' elections.
Voters turnout in the highly contested election has been estimated at 67%: the highest since 1900 despite restrictions because of corona virus .
The Democratic Party tried to elect the first ever woman president four years ago. This year, Kamala Harris will become the first woman vice-president. As the daughter of Jamaican and Indian immigrants she will also be the first representative of those groups to hold the post.
Biden, 78 at inauguration , will be the U.S 's oldest first-term president. His campaign focused on the decades of experience that come with his age. He started his vice-presidency with Barack Obama trying to find solutions to a financial crisis threatening to bankrupt the country. The challenge this time will be no less.
Explications :
voters turnout = taux de participation
ticket : ici le condidat et son vice président
the Democratic ticket = Joe Biden + Kamala Harris
the Republican ticket = Donald Trump + Mike Pence
