1:38Now PlayingNew York City reacts across its boroughs after learning Joe Biden has been projected to become the 46th president of the United States.
Joe Biden campaigned on the premise that his calm competency could lead the country out of the tumultuous years of Donald Trump. In the end, it was just enough.
After nail-biting days of vote counting across battleground states, Biden managed to pull together a winning electoral coalition to end Trump’s presidency.
But Democrats were unable to muster a “blue wave” repudiation of Republicans and the incumbent president, despite a coronavirus pandemic that decimated the economy and left almost a quarter million Americans dead. Biden will be challenged to mend the nation’s deep partisan divides even as the outgoing president alleges, with no evidence, a broad conspiracy to rig the election against him that somehow crossed both state and party lines.
Biden has proven a survivor. His campaign was not derailed by an amateurish and implausible effort by Trump’s associates to smear him as corrupt. And despite under-performing in states like Florida, where he devoted considerable resources, the former vice president was able to fall back on voters in the Rust Belt he has courted for decades.
