Presidential candidate Joe Biden has achieved a new record for most votes ever cast for a president-elect in United States history. He passes Obama’s previous record of over 69 million votes back in 2008.
What We Know:
- According to the Associated Press, Joe Biden has surpassed over 70 million votes as of 2:38 pm on November 4th, 2020.
- It is important to note that the Democratic nominee is making record-breaking numbers in the popular vote. But ultimately, the United States relies on the Electoral College to select a winner. With multiple battleground states still counting ballots, the race for 2020 president is still anyone’s game.
- There are still hundreds of mail-in ballots left to be counted. The 2020 election has been a record-breaking year for early voter turnout as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.
- President Donald Trump is already accusing the Democratic party of voter fraud. He plans to challenge the validity of these votes in the Supreme Court.
Although winning the popular vote does not secure an election, Joe Biden is determined to win this election. It’s clear that over 70 million Americans are rooting for him, too.
