Washington, SAEDNEWS, Nov. 5: Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-California) has been celebrating Joe Biden’s presidential victory before it’s announced, promising “extraordinary progress” from Democrats in Congress and the White House.
“This afternoon, Joe Biden made it clear that the Biden-Harris ticket will have enough votes to win the Electoral College,” Pelosi wrote in a statement to her Democrat colleagues in the House.
“Our Democratic House Majority, working in partnership with the Democratic White House, will now have the opportunity to deliver extraordinary progress,” she added.
Pelosi vowed to focus on “lower health care costs, bigger paychecks by building green infrastructure and cleaner government.”
“Our discipline in building a massive battlefield proved essential in keeping the Majority,” she wrote of Democrats who are projected to remain in charge of the House.
The words came not long after Biden addressed reporters and predicted a victory for himself just as AP and other US media projected him to score 10 electoral college votes from Wisconsin. Michigan has also been called for Biden, but the Trump campaign disputed these results. On Twitter, the president declared himself the winner of the nail-biting race in Michigan, as well as in the battleground states of Pennsylvania, Georgia, North Carolina, although none of them have been called for either of the candidates yet.
Despite her seemingly premature celebration, Pelosi urged Americans to be “patient” while votes are tallied.
