Democratic candidate for the United States Presidential Election, Joe Biden, has launched an official transition website, www.buildbackbetter.com.
The move comes as votes are still being counted in many states and the presidential race still undecided.
On the www.buildbackbetter.com website is a short statement that reiterates Biden’s earlier assertion that it is the American people that will decide who becomes the next U.S. president.
“Votes are still being counted in several states around the country.
“The crises facing the country are severe — from a pandemic to an economic recession, climate change to racial injustice.
“The transition team will continue preparing at full speed so that the Biden‑Harris Administration can hit the ground running on Day One,” the statement says.
Earlier in a speech, Biden, who is also a former U.S. Vice President, said it was clear that he had won “enough states to reach 270 electoral votes to win the presidency”.
“I’m not here to declare that we’ve won, but I am here to report when the count is finished, we believe we will be the winners,” he said.
Biden is set to be declared as US President.
With results in six states still being counted this morning, Biden had won 264 Electoral College Votes – six short of the needed 270.
There are 538 Electoral College votes.
President Donald Trump is trailing with 214 votes sparking fury among Republican party supporters.
Votes were still being counted in Georgia with 16 Electoral College Votes, Pennsylvania (20), North Carolina (15), Alaska (3) and Nevada (6).
Biden was leading in Nevada where 8.5 per cent of the votes had been counted.
