Even without the certainty of being the declared winner, the Democratic candidate for the presidency of the United States, Joe Biden, appeared this Friday at the Wilmington (Delaware) precinct to bring a message of confidence to his voters.
"The numbers tell us a clear and convincing story, we are going to win," he said.
Biden's statement came after Donald Trump turned to legal means as the only possible option to remain in power, hours after the Democratic candidate snatched the advantage in Pennsylvania and Georgia, two states that the Republican urgently needs to achieve reelection.
Trump said that his rival "should not declare himself" as the winner, when the media projections indicate, because the demands made by his campaign on the result of the elections "have only just begun."
"Joe Biden should not unfairly declare that he has won the office of the Presidency. I could make that statement too. The legal proceedings have just begun!" He wrote on Twitter.
In search of achieving the desired 270 electoral votes, the number necessary to claim victory, Biden had so far 264 delegates or 253, depending on whether Arizona is taken or not, where some media have not yet projected their victory there, which they did. others on election night like the AP agency and Fox News, while Trump has 214.
