Biden: ‘The people rule, power can’t be taken or asserted.’

As states continued to tally ballots, former Vice President Joe Biden said in a news conference that while he was not yet declaring victory, he was confident he would win the presidency when all votes were counted. “Here the people rule. Power can’t be taken or asserted,” he said. “To make progress we have to stop treating our opponents as enemies.” The remarks came after a big win for Biden in Wisconsin, which has 10 electoral votes, and as Trump’s campaign filed lawsuits in multiple states.
