One question of what comes next for America has been answered. Based on the late progression of close-call vote counts in Pennsylvania, Nevada, Arizona, and Georgia, it was officially projected yesterday that the 46th President of the United States will take office in January.
President-elect Joe Biden, and Vice-President-elect Kamala Harris, spoke to the nation from Wilmington, Delaware, last night, imparting a vision of America’s future that, happily, lines up with the Mauve Mission.
“The American story is about the slow, yet steady widening of opportunity,” Biden said. “Make no mistake: Too many dreams have been deferred for too long. We must make the promise of the country real for everybody — no matter their race, their ethnicity, their faith, their identity, or their disability.”
The former Senator and Vice-President to 44th President Barack Obama primarily conveyed a message of healing, unity, and opportunity, addressing his opponents as well as his own supporters, and appealing to Republican voters to join with him and “give each other a chance.”
He also revealed his plans to get to work on COVID-19 immediately, as new case counts have topped 100,000 continuously for days.
The 45th President, in the meantime, has decided not to concede his defeat, and in fact, intends to contest it, with his supporters behind him. So, as predicted, questions on how the next couple of months will play out, remain.
