Who won the election in america
In the 2020 United States presidential election, Joe Biden was elected the 46th President of the United States, defeating the incumbent Republican President Donald Trump. Biden received 306 electoral votes to Trump's 232, and won the popular vote by a margin of 7 million votes, making him the first Democratic presidential candidate to win the popular vote since Barack Obama in 2008.
The election was held on Tuesday, November 3, 2020, and was one of the most contentious in recent American history. Trump and his allies made numerous unfounded claims of widespread voter fraud, and refused to concede defeat even after the results had been certified. This led to a mob of Trump supporters storming the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021, in an attempt to prevent the certification of Biden's victory.
The 2020 election was a historic event in American history. It was the first time that a woman of color, Kamala Harris, was elected as Vice President. It was also the first time that a Democratic presidential candidate had won the popular vote by such a large margin since Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964.
