  • Biden’s Granddaughter Celebrates His Win With Sassy Video

    As Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were announced the 46th US President-elect and Vice President-elect, Maisy Biden, the former vice president’s granddaughter, celebrated the news on social media with a hilarious TikTok video. The Associated Press had called the Democratic Challenger as the winner with a clear majority of 290 electoral votes as opposed to 214 for the Republican leader on November 7. While taking to TikTok, the 18-year-old not just celebrated her grandfather’s win, but also Trump’s loss. 

    The video, which has gone viral on Twitter, is set to ‘Na Na Hey Hey- Kiss Him Goodbye’ by The Belmonts. In the clip, one can see Maisy posing in a shirt which had the face of Biden and the words ‘the vice president’ written underneath. The 18-year-old crossed out the word “vice” with a permanent marker leaving it to read, “Joe, The President”. The caption of the video read, “hey hey hey goodbye Trump”. 

    While Maisy’s video on Twitter alone has garnered hundreds of views, she, however, wasn’t the only granddaughter to have celebrated the news on social media. Naomi Biden, who is the former vice president’s eldest granddaughter, also shared an intimate photo of the family on the election.

  • Trump, Biden Attend Separate Veterans Day Event As President Refuses To Concede

    A week after the US election 2020, President Donald Trump and President-elect Joe Biden attended separate ceremonies marking Veterans Day on November 11. A day that should have been a moment of national unity was ruined by the Republican leader’s refusal to acknowledge Biden as the winner of the election. On Wednesday, while Trump visited Arlington National Cemetery for a wreath-laying ceremony, Biden appeared at the Korean War Memorial in Philadelphia for his won solemn wreath-laying ceremony. 

    Trump made his first public appearance in six days when he visited Arlington National Cemetery alongside first lady Melania Trump and Vice President Mike Pence. However, he did not speak or respond to any questions by the reporters. Trump has been attempting to amplify his stance even while his inner circle is left divided over his refusal to concede and accept the results of the presidential elections.

    Trump has resorted to social media and he has been firing inflammatory and baseless claims on Twitter, which have already been flagged by the micro-blogging website as misinformation. He has also been hitting his golf course. Over the weekend, the Republican leader resumed his golf outings, which had been on hold since September 27. He was spotted on the links at Trump National Gold Club in Sterling, Virginia on Saturday, and again on Sunday. 

    Since his projected win, the 46th President-elect Joe Biden, on the other hand, has been addressing the nation, setting up the coronavirus task force, speaking with world leaders including Trump allies and has also begun vetting potential cabinet members and delivering policy speeches. Biden has shrugged off Trump’s fierce refusal to accept the election outcome as “inconsequential” and vowed, “to get right to work”. He is preparing to confront duelling national crises that actively threaten the health, safety and economic security of millions of Americans irrespective of the political debate.

    The former vice president is betting that his low-key approach and bipartisan outreach — a sharp reversal from the current president’s style — will help him govern effectively on Day One. However, days before he will be inaugurated, Trump and his allies seemed determined to make his transition as difficult as possible. Republicans are increasingly eyeing a December deadline to publicly accept the election result, giving the President time and space to exhaust his legal challenges. 

  • Melania Trump wants Donald Trump to accept his loss and concede defeat to President-elect Joe Biden

    US First Lady Melania Trump has joined other members of her husband Donald Trump’s inner circle asking him to accept his loss and concede defeat to President-elect Joe Biden, informed a source familiar with the conversations.

    The source said that although Melania has not publicly commented on the election, she has privately weighed in with her opinion, reported CNN.
    “She has offered it, as she often does,” said the source.

    Melania had earlier campaigned for her husband’s re-election campaign last month. Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and his senior adviser, had earlier approached the President about conceding the election, two sources told CNN.

    The move came after Trump, in a statement, said that Biden is “rushing to falsely pose as the winner” and that the race is “far from over”.Trump claimed that networks were helping the Democrat “falsely” pose as the winner and promised to fight the results in court, reported The Hill.

    President-elect Joe Biden had defeated Trump in a closely contested election, securing his win by a victory in the state of Pennsylvania which took him past the electoral college threshold of 270 votes. In this, his third attempt at the White House, Biden, a four-decade Washington figure as a Senator and then a vice president, received more than 74 million votes, 4 million more than Trump, and more than any other presidential candidate.
