For the better part of the last week, the whole world has been watching in anticipation to see who would be elected the President of the United States of America for the next four years – current President Donald Trump who is the Republican candidate or Joe Biden, former Vice President and the Democratic candidate.
However, after days of counting votes and with a neck and neck race, on Saturday it was announced that Biden was the new President-Elect after securing over 270 electoral votes in the US electoral college.

It’s a history-making election for the US, with the highest-ever voter turnout and it also marks the first woman ever being elected into office. Harris is also the first person of Black and Asian American descent to be elected as Vice President of the USA.
