Biden will be addressing Americans this Saturday afternoon 7-N

The theater of the speech will be the Chase Center convention center in Wilmington (Delaware), where the campaign awaited the results and the city where Obama’s former vice president resides (2009-2017).

US President-elect Joe Biden will address the nation this Saturday afternoon at 8:00 pm local time (1:00 GMT on Sunday), he announced his campaign in a statement.

This was reported by the campaign, which for the first time used the term “president-elect” to refer to Biden The event will also be attended by his wife, Jill, as well as US Vice President-elect Kamala Harris and her husband Doug Emhoff.

The scene of the speech will be the Chase Center convention center in Wilmington (Delaware), where the campaign awaited the results and the city where Barack Obama’s former vice president (2009-2017) resides.

Shortly after the projections of the main media had given him the victory, Biden on Saturday declared himself “honored” to have chosen him “to lead” the country.

“America, I am honored to have been chosen to lead our great country,” Biden tweeted.

Biden accompanied his short Twitter message with a video that showed images of dozens of Americans and the country’s rural and urban landscapes, to the rhythm of the song “America the beautiful” performed by Ray Charles.

The Democrat is the presidential candidate who won the most votes in US history, with more than 74 million, in an election with a record turnout.

Biden surpassed the magic number of 270 delegates he needed in Electoral College just before 11:30 am EDT (4:30 pm GMT), when Biden extended his lead in Pennsylvania to over 30,000 votes over President Donald Trump.

The current president of the United States could not get re-election in any way without prevailing in Pennsylvania, so the projection of the chains that Biden will win in that key state sealed his fate.

When Biden takes power on January 20, he will take the reins of a nation polarized at historic levels, with severe racial wounds and where the pandemic has killed more than 236,000 people.
