Biden Is Projected To Be The President-Elect. Here’s How It All Went Down.
“We’re going to win this race,” Biden says, speaking close to 11 p.m. in a strange, quasi-president-elect moment. He says he will win Pennsylvania and Georgia. “We are on track to win more than 300 electoral votes.”
In other news, the Associated Press has now projected that Georgia’s regular Senate election will go to a runoff between Republican David Perdue (who is at 49.8 percent) and Democrat Jon Ossoff (47.9 percent). That would set up two runoff Senate elections in the Peach State on Jan. 5 that would together determine which party controls the Senate.
Yeah, Geoffrey. Hillary Clinton was the first Democratic presidential candidate since at least 1960 to do better in Maricopa County than she did in the rest of Arizona. It looks like Biden will be the second.
