Trump won with a projected 312 Electoral College votes compared to 226 for Vice President Kamala Harris. He also leads in the popular vote, a rare occurrence for Republicans in recent elections. Biden congratulated Trump and invited him to the White House for a peaceful transfer of power. He praised Harris as a strong partner and endorsed her for the Democratic nomination after his withdrawal from the race.
