Biden Is Projected To Be The President-Elect. Here’s How It All Went Down.

“I am humbled by the trust and confidence you’ve placed in me … who doesn’t see red states and blue states.” Biden is basically repeating what he said the other night, and, as Dan noted, echoing Obama. And I guess you can’t blame him; his Obama echo has been one of his strongest campaign strategies.

In talking about seeing not “red states and blue states but the United States,” Biden calls back to Obama’s famous 2004 convention speech. But like Obama, he is unlikely to find much bipartisan cooperation in Congress, whatever his rhetoric.

Some other, less meaningful firsts for this administration: Biden is the first president from the state of Delaware. And Harris is the first Democratic vice president or president from the West.
