President-elect Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 presidential election was affirmed following the Electoral College cementing the win on Monday.

During a speech on Monday night in Wilmington, Del., Biden pointed out that he has garnered the same number of Electoral College votes as President Donald Trump did in the 2016 presidential election.

Trump won the Electoral College with 306 electoral votes, compared to Hillary Clinton’s 232 electoral votes. Biden garnered 306 electoral votes while Trump received 232 electoral votes in the 2020 presidential election.

Biden received more than 81 million votes and Trump received over 74 million votes. Trump has refused to concede the election and has pushed unsubstantiated claims of widespread voter fraud in the election.

“Three-hundred and six electoral votes is the same number of electoral votes that Donald Trump and Vice President Pence received when they won in 2016,” Biden said in Delaware. “At the time, Trump called the Electoral College tally a landslide.”

Biden continued, “By his own standards, these numbers represented a clear victory then and I respectfully suggest they do so now.”

Additionally, Biden said during his speech, “We saw something very few predicted, even thought possible: The biggest voter turnout in the history of the United States of America. A number so big that this election now ranks as the clearest demonstration of the true will of the American people. It should be celebrated, not attacked.”

Biden also declared that “respecting the will of the people is at the heart of our democracy,” adding, “Even when we find those results hard to accept, but that’s the obligation of those who have taken on a sworn duty to uphold the Constitution.”

He added:

“Four years ago, when I was a sitting vice president of the United States, it was my responsibility to announce the tally of the Electoral College votes to the joint session of Congress that voted to elect Donald Trump. I did my job.”

See Biden’s comments below:

“Now it’s time to turn the page as we’ve done throughout our history, to unite, to heal,” Biden said. “As I said in my campaign, I will be president for all Americans. I will work just as hard for those who didn’t vote for me as I will for those who did.”
