Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden is expressing confidence in his chances of winning the presidency.
“My fellow Americans, we don’t have a final declaration of victory yet, but the numbers tell a clear and convincing story: We are going to win this race,” Biden said in remarks made Friday evening.
He added, “We’re on track for over 300 Electoral College votes. And look at the national numbers: We’re going to win this race with a clear majority of the nation behind us. We’ve gotten over 74 million votes.”
“We are going to be the first Democrat to win Arizona in 24 years. We are going to be the first Democrat to win Georgia in 28 years. And we re-built the Blue Wall in the middle of the country that crumbled just four years ago.”
The former vice president also said Americans have “given us a mandate for action on COVID and the economy and climate change and systemic racism,” adding, “They made it clear they want the country to come together — not continue to pull apart.”
