It took three and a half days, but Joe Biden can now be called President-Elect.
Earlier this hour, the AP called Biden's native Pennsylvania clinching him the electoral college. This comes exactly 48 years ago to the date that he won his first election to the Senate. When it is all said and done, Biden will very likely carry Arizona, Georgia and Nevada giving him 306 electoral votes - the exact number Donald Trump received in 2016. Trump becomes the first one term since George H.W. Bush.
Biden will become the 46th President of the United States on January 20, 2021. Or the 47th President should Trump resign to leave it to Mike Pence to hand over the reins of power.
Whether Biden is the 46th or 47th President, Kamala Harris will be the next Vice-President - the first woman and woman of color to hold this office.
Our long national nightmare isn't over just yet. But we shall wake up from it in 74 days from now and Trump cannot do a damn thing about it.
