Kamala Harris to be the new Vice President 

New Delhi: Celebration were on in America as Joe Biden has clinched enough states to win the 270 electoral votes needed to become president, The Associated Press declared on Saturday, a day after Decision Desk HQ also called the race for Biden.

Streets were filled with celebrators and videos of people dancing on the street went viral.

The Democratic candidate victory was cemented after Pennsylvania was called for the two-term former vice president under Barack Obama.

Various news outlets report that Biden is also ahead of President Donald Trump in Georgia and Arizona, two states that voted in Trump’s favor in 2016. (Georgia’s secretary of state says the state is headed to a recount.)

With several states still counting ballots, Biden leads Mr. Trump by about 4 million votes nationwide as of Saturday morning.

Trump has refused to concede. Shortly after Decision Desk HQ called the election in Biden’s favor Friday morning, Matt Morgan, the Trump 2020 campaign general counsel, released a statement claiming the election is “not over.”

“The false projection of Joe Biden as the winner is based on results in four states that are far from final,” Mr. Morgan said in a statement, referring to Georgia, Arizona, Nevada and Pennsylvania.
