The Post-Trump era Finally. US elections over! ‌ Or not really, sort of. Maybe.. Let us recap a few things: The presidential election is conducted in the states. That means that either trump or Biden had to win the majority of votes in any given state. By doing so, they will then win the number of electors per state. The number of electors (all 558 of them) per state is determined of how big the state is. The bigger the state, the bigger the number of electors. Alaska is sending three electors, Georgia is sending 16 and so on. Biden got enough votes in some of the big states (and the smaller ones as well) to cross the barrier of 270 electors. The tradition is that the losing party (Trump this time) will acknowledge the loss and congratulate the incoming president. That is then it. Biden gets into pre-president mode.
