Nancy Pelosi taunts Donald Trump by branding Joe Biden ‘president-elect’

House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi taunted Donald Trump by calling the US election for Joe Bidenm who she branded ‘president-elect.’

Pelosi – one of Trump’s most-hated political foes – stuck the knife in at the US Capitol in Washington DC on Friday, where she expressed happiness over the ‘historic’ turnout – although Biden has not officially been named winner.

‘This morning it is clear, that the Biden Harris ticket will win the White House,’ she said.

Pelosi spoke about how he was ‘propelled by the biggest vote ever,’ which saw Americans cast more than 73.8 million votes.

‘We did not win every battle in the house, but we did win the war,’ she said.

The Democrats were able to retain control of the house, but the Senate is still up for grabs.

Biden has 264 electoral college votes, while Trump has 214. In order to be elected as president, a candidate must be gain 270 electoral college votes.

There have been tight races in many states, including Pennsylvania, Arizona and Georgia.

Trump has filed lawsuits in states including Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Nevada, claiming that there is suppression at counting centers orchestrated by the Democrats.

There is no evidence to support these claims, and Twitter has censored some of Trump’s message due to false and misleading information.

Biden does seem to be pulling ahead, although Team Trump insisted Friday morning that they have no plans to concede the race.

A Joe Biden spokesman said, ‘The United States government is capable of escorting trespassers from the White House.’

If Biden is elected, Trump will not be out of office until January 2021.
