‘Refused to respect the people’: Biden rips Trump’s election challenge in speech marking Electoral College win

Joe Biden, addressing the country shortly after state electors declared him president-elect, blasted Donald Trump for mounting an “extreme” and “unprecedented assault on our democracy.”

A sometimes-emotional and -forceful incoming president called Mr Trump’s claims of a "rigged election" nothing shy of “unconscionable,” saying in a short speech from Wilmington, Delaware that the Electoral College vote Monday making him the winner showed the 2020 election was “honest, and it was free and it fair.”

He hailed state and local officials who endured death and other threats of violence from Mr Trump’s supporters. “And they wouldn’t be bullied. It was truly remarkable.” Mr Biden said.

Truth. At last. Thank you, Joe!
