On the morning of Saturday, Nov. 7, four days after the 2020 election, most major media outlets named Joe Biden as the next president of the United States. Following an incredibly stressful four days as Biden slowly made progress in states like Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin as mail-in ballots were counted, the election was finally over.
n case you missed it in the midst of last week’s election chaos, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.-14) found herself facing widespread condemnation for her actions on Twitter. Ocasio-Cortez, the freshman Democrat commonly known as “AOC”, tweeted the following on Friday, Nov. 6.
As I am writing this, it is Thursday, and we do not yet have a president. Joe Biden is still leading Donald Trump, as he has been for most of this election. But delays in counting mail-in votes in five states has severely slowed the election process and left the country frozen, waiting for the moment of defeat or vindication that will come when one candidate or another is declared victor in what has probably been the most vicious political cycle in history.
Tuesday was the United States’ 59th presidential Election Day. We witnessed masses of citizens and politically motivated, armed security guards intimidating voters outside of polling locations. Claims of widespread voter suppression have been leveraged at the acting president. Voting locations became ideological and physical battlegrounds where different kinds of voters came into conflict with one another and even the police. The president and the supreme court are embroiled in a conflict over whether or not all ballots cast by mail should be accounted for in the election.
Election day. It's finally here. Amid increasing partisan tensions, during a pandemic, after four years of a contentious presidency, today is election day.
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to deduce that America is an incredibly polarized nation right now. In a world where even simple facts have become incessantly debated, it seems that there is still one topic that politicians from both sides of the aisle agree on: Abraham Lincoln was a great president.
After the declaration of Joseph R. Biden Jr. as the 46th President of the United States on Saturday, the Trump campaign still has yet to concede as they file lawsuits in multiple battleground states. President Trump is currently working on new lawsuits to sue multiple states over various elements of the voting process and is asking for recounts.

The 2020 Democratic candidate, Joseph Biden, won the presidential election after Pennsylvania gave him 20 electoral votes Saturday at 11:25 a.m. EST, according to The Associated Press.
In his inaugural address Wednesday, President Joe Biden made a case for national unity while laying out the largest issues his administration will have to tackle. The coronavirus pandemic (and suffering economy), climate change, systematic racism and America’s hold on democracy, here and abroad, were the most pressing, according to the New York Times.
In an unprecedented period in American history, Joseph R. Biden Jr. was sworn in as the 46th president of the United States yesterday, calling it a day of “history and hope.”
As Saturday Night Live amusingly pointed out several years ago, President Barack Obama issued several powerful executive orders to push his agenda around a hostile Republican Congress. Today, President-elect Joe Biden — a direct witness to each of Obama’s 276 executive orders — takes his seat in the Oval Office.
As the Biden administration commences its four-year opportunity to deliver campaign promises this week, many Americans are optimistic about the prospects of immigration reform. In fact, President-elect Biden is poised to unveil a plan for an 8-year path to citizenship on his first day in office, alongside a growing list of executive orders and issues the administrations will tackle. Biden’s plans for immigration reform will soon cross paths with a new caravan of immigrants making its way from Central America to the U.S. southern border. In the meantime, the passage of immigration reform will follow a less certain path in a polarized Congress and it will only reach victory if it remains a priority for the Biden administration and if Democrats can garner bipartisan support.
In the current 2020 Democratic presidential primary, the party is once again demonstrating that it cannot tolerate leadership or policies which represent or advocate for American workers.
Since he turned political nearly five years ago, Donald Trump’s Twitter attacks have given him an unprecedented amount of free media coverage. But in recent months, one man has found himself both immune from the president’s attacks and invisible in the mainstream media: Bernie Sanders.
