WASHINGTON (AN) — Elected 46th president of the United States on Saturday, Democrat Joe Biden wasted no time signaling a rapid series of policy reversals to come starting with renewed multilateral efforts to combat the pandemic and global warming.
The president-elect and his running mate, Kamala Harris, crossed the winning threshold of 270 Electoral College votes needed in the November 3 election to wrest the White House from Republican President Donald Trump. Harris will become the first Black woman and first Asian American woman to serve as vice president.
