NEW YORK, November 7. /TASS/. Democratic presidential candidate Joseph Biden expressed confidence that he will win the US presidential elections. He made the corresponding statement, speaking on Friday in Wilmington (Delaware). His speech was broadcast by national television companies.
"My fellow Americans, we don’t have a final declaration of victory yet, but the numbers tell us it’s clear. Tell us a clear and convincing story. We are going to win this race," Biden said.
He also predicted that he’d wind up with "more than 300 electoral votes."
Biden noted that his vote share in Georgia and Pennsylvania had expanded significantly over the past 24 hours. He also touted his popular vote share, as he has so far received over 70 million votes. The Democratic candidate also urged patience as the vote count proceeds slowly in several states.
"We have to remain calm and patient as the process work out as we count all the votes… Your vote will be counted, I don’t care how hard people try to stop it, I will not let it happen," he said.
In order to win the US presidential election, a candidate should gain the support of 270 members of the Electoral College. The winner of the election is yet to be determined in Nevada (6 votes), Georgia (16), North Carolina (15), Pennsylvania, Alaska (3). According to latest projections of Fox News and Associated Press, Biden has received 264 electoral votes so far, while Trump has 214 votes. CNN and number of other media outlets guarantee 253 electoral votes to Biden 253 and 213 to Trump.
