TIL Desk/World/Washington/ United States Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden on Wednesday (local time) expressed confidence over his imminent victory in the 2020 presidential polls, adding that he may have campaigned as a Democrat but he will govern as an American president.
Biden’s remark comes in the backdrop of his lead in Electoral College votes, having 253 votes to the Republican incumbent Donald Trump’s 213. “Let me be clear, I may have campaigned as a Democrat but I will govern as an American president. The presidency itself is not a partisan institution; it’s the one office in this nation that represents everyone.
“It demands the duty and care of all and that’s what I will do,” Biden said. “After a long night of counting, it’s clear that we’re winning enough states to reach 270 electoral votes needed to win the presidency. “I’m not here to declare that we won but I’m here to report when counting is finished, we believe we’ll be winners,” he added.
