The candidate of the Democratic Party in the US 2020 presidential election, Joe Biden, says it is clear that his party has won the election.
In an address on Wednesday, Biden thanked Americans for supporting him, saying although he campaigned as a Democrat, he would govern as an American.
The former US vice-president said the event of the last few days has shown that democracy is alive in America.
He praised the people for turning out en masse, saying over 150 million people voted in the election.
In what seemed like a veiled reference to President Donald Trump, his main rival, he said: “To make progress, we have to stop treating our opponents as enemies.”
Biden, who spoke from his home state of Delaware, was joined by Harris Kamala, his running mate.
Shortly after his speech, he was projected winner of Michigan, pushing his electoral votes to 253, while Trump is trailing with 214 votes.
Trump has alleged that the election is being rigged, demanding recount of votes and filing a suit to challenge the process.
