Democrat Joe Biden ultimately won 306 electoral votes against 232 for his Republican rival Donald Trump, following the announcement on Friday, November 13, by major American media outlets of the presidential election results in the two states where they had not yet been declared.
President-elect Joe Biden was declared the winner in Georgia (16 electoral votes), while Donald Trump won in North Carolina (15), according to these media outlets, including CNN and NBC.
The distribution of electoral votes is exactly the same as in the 2016 presidential election, but reversed: at that time, Donald Trump had 306 to his credit, against 232 for Hillary Clinton.
The outgoing president has still not conceded defeat and continues to claim, without evidence, that the election was “rigged.”
For Democrat Joe Biden, Donald Trump’s refusal to concede his defeat is a “source of embarrassment.” “It will not serve the president’s legacy,” he added from his stronghold in Wilmington.
