Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election on Friday, according to a projection by election data company Decision Desk HQ which called the state of Pennsylvania for the Democratic candidate, capping off an election that dragged on for two nail-biting days as key battleground states counted votes.

The former vice president is now on track -- with a few legal challenges mounted by the Trump campaign in his way -- to become the 46th president of the United States. He beat incumbent President Donald Trump thanks to battleground states like Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania that Hillary Clinton lost in 2016.

Trump held on Florida, set to expand his share of the vote in the Sunshine State. But his performance in the Rust Belt was not enough to hold on to the presidency, and a projected loss in Arizona infuriated his campaign -- but Pennsylvania ultimately sealed its fate.

That loss in Arizona was first projected by Fox News, the president's favorite network. While many of the network's opinion hosts are pro-Trump, its highly-regarded "decision desk," which calls presidential races, is nonpartisan. And it was the first operation to call Arizona for Biden, on Tuesday night before a sizable chunk of votes had been counted. That decision sparked outrage from the Trump campaign, which has repeatedly attacked Fox News in public comments since the network made the call.

On this day in 1860, the greatest Republican President in history was elected. On this date in 2020, the GOP's worst President in history will be going down in defeat. With a little luck, he'll take his party with him

Ron DeSantis will appoint the former President to the position of Honorary Governor of Florida and Trump will also become Mayor of Mar a Lago

1. Faux Snooze also has Joe Biden at 270 electoral votes.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay, it's about time!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[thesquanderer]

13. Currently they have him at 264

They have not given him the 6 from Nevada, which I think is the only way he'd have exacty 270 at this point.

12. The media needs to exercise its credibility

by calling the race for Biden. If they remain on the sidelines, deferring to that illegitimate monster, they enable whatever damage to the country he composes. If all outlets call the race for Biden and refer to him as president elect, or whatever he is called before the votes are certified, it makes it as difficult as it should be for Cult 45 to interfere with national business, like for instance, saving american lives from the virus.

[riversedge]

14. I am not counting my chicks yet.

[Rebl2]

19. Same here

[Initech]

15. My solution: Just give Trump his own tiny island to ruin and then he can stop ruining the USA.

The MAGAs can go join him there.

[Rebl2]

20. That is

what I told my husband during the summer. Let him have his own little island and his followers can go there and live out their lives under his dictatorship.

[Initech]

21. And then I give it a month.

It will turn into a Lord Of The Flies situation faster than you can say "SAD!".

[jaxexpat]

28. 4' x 8' I'm thinking.

[Throckmorton]

[jaxexpat]

29. yea along the lines of the 'Dewey Beats Truman' paper

[bonniebgood]

30. Hi LOL

[C Moon]

32. Trump resigns, Pence is made president, and turns into a Dwight Schrute:

"Pardon you? Now why would I go and do that? Now get the hell out of my oval office! Take that lard ass away from me, mother!"
"And someone get that damn fly out of here!"

[Botany]

34. This ain't no party This ain't no disco This ain't no fooling around

[movingviolation]

36. I'll refrain from happy dancing until I hear this from a reputable source I've actually heard of..

[ffr]

38. For the first time since 2016 GE I stepped out of the shower with song in my heart

The nightmare will soon be over.

[Dr. T]

40. When Trump is no longer useful to Putin,

and Trump can't repay the loans, Putin will order a Mafia-style hit. Broken knee caps or radioactive tea, either way it won't end well for Donny.

43. Not quite over yet....

46. For the thread

Election Results: Joe Biden Wins Presidential Race, Defeating Donald Trump

The Democratic nominee is the projected winner in enough states to win 270 electoral votes. The state of Pennsylvania, which Hillary Clinton lost in 2016, was called by our partners at Decision Desk for Biden just before 9 am ET on November 6, clinching the electoral win in a tightly contested vote that drew historic turnout. (For more on how Decision Desk and other outlets call elections, read our explainer here.)

The above source is Vox. Maybe the cable news networks are dragging their feet just to keep us glued to their stations. But then again the NYT, et al, hasn't called it either.
