Democratic candidates Joe Biden, former vice-president, and Senator Kamala Harris, the first woman elected as Vice-President, became the winners Saturday when Pennsylvania’s electoral votes put them over the needed 270.
President-Elect Biden will be the 46th President of the United States. He made the following comment:
“America, I’m honored that you have chosen me to lead our great country.
“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.”
Congratulations to our colleagues across the political aisle.
