Joe Biden is a name that echoed in the 2020 US Election. His name, which is associated with both tragic and political setbacks, won the heart of the Americans as he promised redemption and restoration of One Great America.<\/p>

Despite old age, he toppled Donald Trump in the nail-biting election over a large margin<\/a><\/span>. The former Vice-President and the white-haired lion of Barack Obama are now taking the White House as the 46th American President-elect.<\/p>

President Joe Biden has spent a lifetime in politics, with 36 years in the Senate and eight years serving in the Obama administration.<\/p>

A Delaware native, the veteran Democrat hopes his pledge to unify Americans. He envisioned to put an end to a presidency that has failed to protect this nation. And vowed to end a presidency that has fanned the flames of hate, poured gasoline on every opportunity he had all across America.<\/p>

In his words, Biden said: \u201cIt is clear that we are winning enough states to reach 270 electoral votes needed to win the presidency. \u201cI am not here to declare that we have won, but, I am here to report that when the count is finished we believe we will be the winners.\u201d<\/p>

Despite the crises that battered the USA in 2020, Mr. Biden in his victory speech said, “This is the time to heal in America.”<\/p>
