Biden calls election fraud claims ‘baseless’ in 1st speech after Electoral College designates him as president-elect
US President-elect Joe Biden said he would govern for “all Americans” during his first speach after the Electoral College confirmed his win in the 2020 race, while accusing the outgoing Trump administration of an “abuse of power.”
Biden touted his election win in a speech from his hometown of Wilmington, Delaware on Monday, saying he struck a “clear victory” against the incumbent Trump, whose repeated allegations of voter fraud he rejected as “baseness claims.”
“In America, politicians don't take power – people grant it to them. The flame of democracy was lit in this nation a long time ago. And we now know that nothing – not even a pandemic, or an abuse of power – can extinguish that flame,” he said, adding that Trump had “refused to accept the will of the people.”
