Joe Biden

Biden said during a press conference on Tuesday that he had spoken with both leaders of the House, which would appear to indicate Rep. Kevin McCarthy, the minority leader, and Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

President-elect Joe Biden on Tuesday pledged to work closely with foreign leaders, telling them in phone calls that “it’s not America alone,” in a thinly-veiled swipe at President Donald Trump’s “America First” foreign policy.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., told reporters Tuesday that there is “no reason for alarm” as to why Republican leadership has not called to congratulate President-elect Joe Biden as they wait for the Electoral College to officially vote.

Election results revealed a striking data point: votes cast for third-party Libertarian candidate Jo Jorgensen in key swing states exceeded the margin between votes for President Trump and President-elect Joe Biden. 

President-elect Joe Biden says that President’s Trump’s refusal to concede the election is “an embarrassment” which will hurt “the president’s legacy.”

For many voters, Biden was able to successfully position himself as a leader capable of uniting a fractured country.

A Democratic senator from Delaware said Tuesday that his Republican colleagues are privately asking him to congratulate President-elect Joe Biden on his election win because they can't do so publicly.  

President-elect Joe Biden on Tuesday spoke to foreign leaders and key allies as he moved ahead with his presidential transition — with the leaders of the U.K. and France among those first to speak to the incoming president.

The Biden transition is hanging in limbo, awaiting the General Services Administration’s certification, which will give President-elect Joe Biden and his team the power to make decisions about the future of the federal government-- but the incoming administration is "moving forward" anyway, urging the GSA to "move quickly" and "respect" the "will of the American people." 

Vice President-elect Joe Biden's bromides sound comforting, but Democrats do not practice what they preach.
