After a prolonged wait and much anticipation, Democratic party candidate Joe Biden has won the American elections in a historic victory. He won this historic battle against Republican leader Donald Trump. Meanwhile Donald Trump has shown defiance and alleged that the electoral process involved fraud and lack of transparency.
The electoral results have highlighted the deep rooted political polarisation in American society.
Donald Trump warned Joe Biden that he should refrain from wrongly claiming the White House and said that he would not refrain from moving the Supreme Court or taking recourse to legal action.
