STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. – It’s over.
President Donald Trump doesn’t think so, but it is. Absent an unprecedented event in American history, he is not going to be declared the winner of the 2020 presidential election.
Trump has had his court challenges. He’s had recounts. He’s held rallies trying to “Stop the Steal” of an election that he claims he won by a landslide.
But come Jan. 20, 2021, Democrat Joe Biden is going to be sworn in as president of the United States. Kamala Harris will take office as vice president.
