WASHINGTON: “We did it. We did it, Joe,” were the words in ecstasy by Kamala Harris in her first call to president-elect Joe Biden after becoming the first woman vice-president of the US.
In a video posted by Harris on her Twitter account, she can be heard telling Biden: “You’re going to be the next president of the United States.”
Democrat Joe Biden has won the White House, US media reported Saturday, defeating Donald Trump and ending a presidency that convulsed American politics, shocked the world and left the United States more divided than at any time in decades.
US media called the race in Biden’s favor as an insurmountable lead in Pennsylvania took the 77-year-old over the top in the state-by-state count that decides the presidency.
