US President-elect Joe Biden announced his 306 electoral votes, exceeding the 270 required to cement his presidential win over US President Donald Trump, in Wilmington, Delaware, on Monday.
"At that time, President Trump called the Electoral College tally a landslide," Biden said. "In America, politicians don't take power. People grant power to them. The flame of democracy was lit in this nation a long time ago. And we now know nothing, not even a pandemic or an abuse of power, can extinguish that flame," he added.
"A few states went for recounts. All the counts were confirmed. The results in Georgia were counted three times. It didn't change the outcome," he continued, acknowledging the dozens of legal challenges that the Trump campaign brought to challenge the election result.
Joe Biden sealed his last month's victory over Trump on Monday after the electoral college cast him 302 votes against Trump's 232.
The Democrat will become the 46th president of the United States when he is sworn in on January 20.
