Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. is an American politician who is the 46th and current president of the United States. A member of the Democratic Party, he previously served as the 47th vice president from 2009 to 2017 under President Barack Obama and also represented Delaware in the United States Senate from the year 1973 to 2009.
Joe Biden hailed “a good day” for democracy after Democrats defied history and outperformed expectations in the US midterm elections, leaving control of Congress very tense.
With ballots still being counted, Democrats were hopeful about holding the Senate, though the outcome of the tight races in Arizona and Nevada were still uncertain yesterday evening and another key race in Georgia was heading to a runoff. Democrats need to win two of those seats to maintain Senate control.
Republicans, meanwhile, felt they were on course to win the House – but by a much narrower margin than widely predicted.
“We had an election yesterday – it was a good day, I think, for democracy,” Biden told reporters at the White House. “And I think it was a good day for America.”
