Donald Trump, currently the 45th president who also owns the Trump Turnberry golf course in South Ayrshire, Scotland has lost the 2020 presidential race to Joe Biden It's been confirmed.

Biden is projected to win Pennsylvania, Arizona & Georgia taking him well over the 270 needed to win the US election and the win for Joe was projected by CNN earlier this afternoon (UK Time).

Donald who is currently the 45th US president has now lost to Joe Biden who is projected at 290 vs Trumps projected 214 with Joe Biden now set to become the 46th US president.

Donald Trump has however vowed to contest the election in the Supreme Court after saying the election was a fraud, and rigged by the Democrats after loosing his big majorities in states like Pennsylvania & Georgia to postal votes which have been counted over the past several days.

Trump has also repeated his unfounded claims that poll watchers were not allowed into ballot counting rooms to observe.

Election officials have however said that both Republican and Democrat poll watchers were able to watch the process, and have rubbished claims of unfairness.

    Donald Trump tweeted the following earlier after hearing Biden was projected to win the election:


"THE OBSERVERS WERE NOT ALLOWED INTO THE COUNTING ROOMS. I WON THE ELECTION, GOT 71,000,000 LEGAL VOTES. BAD THINGS HAPPENED WHICH OUR OBSERVERS WERE NOT ALLOWED TO SEE. NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. MILLIONS OF MAIL-IN BALLOTS WERE SENT TO PEOPLE WHO NEVER ASKED FOR THEM!"

"71,000,000 Legal Votes. The most EVER for a sitting President!"

    Donald Trump also issued the following statement this afternoon:


"Beginning Monday, our campaign will start prosecuting our case in court to ensure election laws are fully upheld and the rightful winner is seated," he added.

"I will not rest until the American people have the honest vote count they deserve and that democracy demands."

    Joe Biden also issued statement this afternoon after finding out he had won the US Election:


"America, I'm honored that you have chosen me to lead our great country.

The work ahead of us will be hard, but I promise you this: I will be a President for all Americans — whether you voted for me or not."

"I will keep the faith that you have placed in me."

Joe Biden is also expected to give a speech in the early hours of tomorrow morning at around 1AM UK Time.

Those were mindblowing four years. Here's hoping for the return of sanity and time for some healing.

I may have had some fun last night watching his fans cry like little babies (hell, I could have bathed in their tears there were so many of them). To be fair, all they had to do was provide some evidence of the voting fraud they are claiming.

Today though I genuinely hope that some healing can take place and that the US gets a leader who can bring people together. I have no idea if Biden is the man who can do that (and he does have the electoral college to get through before this unfortunate chapter can be closed). Maybe I can start watching the news again now and find out what is happening in the world.

"71,000,000 Legal Votes. The most EVER for a sitting President!"

The flipside of that means more people have voted against him than any other president.
