Senate Majority Leader McConnell Acknowledges Biden Win

US

Senate Majority leader Mitch McConnell for the first time acknowledged Joe Biden as president-elect on the floor of the senate today.

  • McConnell said "Our country has, officially, a president-elect and a vice president-elect.. Our system of government has processes to determine who will be sworn in on Jan. 20. The Electoral College has spoken. So today I want to congratulate President-elect Joe Biden."
  • "I also want to congratulate the Vice President-elect, our colleague from California, Sen. Harris. Beyond our differences, all Americans can take pride that our nation has a female Vice President-elect for the very first time."
  • Comes after the electoral college formally voted in Biden as president-elect yesterday. The next stage is for a joint session of Congress to tabulate and certify the electoral college's votes on 6 January before the inauguration on 20 January.
  • McConnell's reluctance to acknowledge Biden's win in the 3 November presidential election was becoming a story in itself, with even Russian President Vladimir Putin congratulating Biden before McConnell did.
