Joe Biden addresses Americans ahead of the declaration of result
The Democrat flagbearer, Joe Biden is set to address the Americans on how the vote count is going and preparedness to take over from the White House.
According to sources his chances of being declared the next president of the United States with a historical votes support was high.
In a few moments, he is set to address the American people.
It comes at the end of another day of vote counting and frustration across America, with his close contender, Donald Trump clinging to power despite the Democratic nominee’s lead increasing in critical swing states.
Despite reports that some White House aides were urging President Trump to concede, even as others encourage him to fight on, the president himself shows no sign of backing down.

He is still relying on the law to save him from the massive defeat although the supreme Court dismissed his “fraud” and “stealing” claims concerning the elections.
Joe Biden was projected to win the presidency on Friday after absentee ballots in Pennsylvania gave him enough votes to beat President Donald Trump in the battleground state, according to Decision Desk HQ, the Bangor Daily News’ election partner.
It came after a stunning and mixed Tuesday election across the country.
Polls overstated the standing of the Democratic nominee and former Vice President in key states, leaving Biden to slog to victory over the Republican president by flipping the midwestern states of Michigan and Wisconsin after a bitter campaign dominated by the coronavirus and its effects on Americans and the economy.
