Joe Biden has stated that he does not want to declare himself the winner of the election yet. But: "We believe that we will be the winners."
While the current US President Donald Trump (74) declared himself the winner of the US presidential election early on, Joe Biden (77) was more cautious on Wednesday evening. In Wilmington, Delaware, the Democratic candidate stepped in front of the cameras and said he did not want to declare himself the winner of the election. "We believe we will be the winners," he said.
"Power cannot be seized or claimed, it flows from the people, and their will determines who will be the next President of the United States," Biden tweeted afterwards. Meanwhile, the short message service has to keep scrutinizing tweets from Donald Trump, as he declares himself the winner in some states. As a result, his tweets are tagged with the following notice: "Some or all of the content shared in this tweet is controversial and potentially misleading as to how to participate in an election or other civic process." Donald Trump said on election night (local time) in the White House: "Frankly, we won this election."
