The US electoral college confirms the victory of Joe Biden in the elections

The Electoral College of the United States has certified the victory of Joe Biden as the new president of the country after counting the votes of the electoral delegates, who have replicated the results expected after the popular vote in the elections on November 3. Free way, therefore, for him to take office in the ceremony on January 20, 2020.1 The president-elect has called “to turn the page” after these results and after the outgoing president, Donald Trump, has promoted a intense judicial campaign to try to reverse the results of the elections, a campaign that has been almost systematically stopped by the courts, Biden has secured a total of 306 of the 538 votes of the Electoral College, above the 270 needed to obtain the majority, and far from the 232 obtained by the outgoing president and candidate for reelection, Donald Trump. This figure of 306 voters, Biden has assured satisfied, “is the same figure that Trump and Pence obtained when they won in 2016. Then, Trump called the result a landslide victory. By his own standards, this figure was a clear victory then and I respectfully suggest that it is the same now. “In his speech, Biden celebrated” the strength and resilience of American democracy, “noting that” in this battle for the soul of states United, democracy prevailed. The integrity of our elections remains intact. ”This electoral college vote, which is usually broadcast on television, is usually nothing more than a formality: the electoral delegates do nothing more than endorse the votes indicated by the popular vote.This year, however, the expectation has become especially great, given the aforementioned insistent refusal by Donald Trump to openly acknowledge his defeat. Yes, he did so implicitly and pragmatically when he gave the green light to start the transition processes. Several Republican congressmen of those who had also refused to accept Biden’s electoral victory had stressed that they were waiting for this official pronunciation of the electoral college to take the step and recognize the Democrat as the winner of the elections.Trump signs the attorney general’s goodbye Donald Trump himself reacted this Monday by blaming the United States attorney general, William Barr, who after having joined the initiatives at first of the outgoing president against the results, had lately stopped giving fuel to his latest movements. “I just had a very nice meeting with Attorney General Bill Barr,” Trump described through social media: “Our relationship is very good , he has done an exceptional job. As he says in his letter, Bill is going to leave office just before Christmas to spend the holidays with his family. ”The latest setback for Trump came this Monday from Wisconsin, after the Supreme Court – known as SCOTUS, Supreme Court Of The United States- will reject a lawsuit to prevent the victory of Joe Biden in this state, achieved by a slim margin: it was one of the four states that the Democrat managed to win after a Republican victory in the 2016 elections. The results of the November 3 elections have already been certified by all 50 states plus the District of Columbia.The Democrat won with 81.3 million votes, 51.3% of the votes cast, compared to 74.2 million (46.8%) for the Republican magnate. They are figures, by the way, of historical record. No candidate had ever won so many votes as on this occasion have both Joe Biden and even Donald Trump, who has won 12 million more votes. Biden has improved by more than 15 million those achieved by Hillary Clinton in 2016. This step of the electoral college was therefore lacking, in a country where the president is elected by indirect universal suffrage. “I hope you can see me smile behind the mask” outlined the Democrat Nancy Patton Mills, president of the vote in the state of Pennsylvania. As for Trump, returning to his future actions, it remains unknown if he will be present at the inauguration Joe Biden, who will take office on January 20. At the time, a peculiar plan was transmitted from the ranks of the Republican: leave Washington early and fly aboard Air Force One bound for Florida. Logically, the moment the president ceases to be, his plane will cease to have such consideration in flight.
