Nancy Pelosi Says Joe Biden Will Win Electoral College in 'Historic' Election
Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said in a Wednesday letter to House Democrats that Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden will garner enough votes in the U.S. presidential election to carry the Electoral College. Meanwhile, a final tally of votes may not be available for days as some states continue to count mail-in and absentee ballots.
On Wednesday, the Associated Press reported that Biden had obtained 264 electoral votes to President Donald Trump's 214. A candidate must achieve 270 electoral votes to be declared president. Six states have yet to report a final voting result. The Trump administration has promised to legally challenge the results in some states.
Pelosi said in her Wednesday letter that Biden and his running mate Kamala Harris had "made it clear" that the Democratic ticket would have enough electoral votes to win the presidency.
"Joe Biden's election will be historic, propelled by the votes of a record-shattering 70 million Americans—the most votes ever received by a presidential ticket in American history," Pelosi wrote.
