US presidential election: Joe Biden's victory officially validated by the big voters

America's 538 major voters gathered on Monday to endorse Joe Biden's victory, a formality to which Donald Trump said


A new step forward.

Unsurprisingly, Democrat Joe Biden received the majority of the votes of the voters this Monday evening, which further formalizes his presidential victory against Donald Trump.

The results of the November 3 ballot had already been certified by each of the 50 American states: Biden had won the record number of 81.28 million votes, or 51.3% of the vote, against 74.22 million (46.8% ) to the outgoing Republican President.

But in the United States, the tenant of the White House is chosen by indirect universal suffrage, each state generally attributing its electorate, whose number depends essentially on its population, to the candidate who wins locally.

It was the California vote that sealed the fate of this election, at 2:27 p.m. (11:27 p.m. KST) giving Biden the big voters needed to reach the 270 threshold. The 538 voters are local politicians, figures from civil society or those close to a candidate.
