Former US Vice President and Democratic challenger in the US 2020 presidential election, Joe Biden has made history as he has now received more votes for a president compared to any other candidate in US election history.
He officially
surpassed numbers of former President Barack Obama's 2008 popular vote at
around 8 am US time on Wednesday November 4.
With a number
of states still to be counted fully, Biden has a running total of 69,629,972,
according to the Associated Press. Trump has also surpassed the tally he
achieved in 2016 against Hillary Clinton.
Former
President Barack Obama won in 2008 with 69,498,516, which was the highest ever
recorded.
A late burst
of votes in Michigan and Wisconsin has given Biden a small lead in those
states.
