It has been certified that President Biden won the 2020 election over President Trump.

Campaign officials said in a speech that Harris will argue that it's time to turn the page on Trump and chart a new path forward. The official added that the vice president's speech was aimed at comparing Harris' tenure in the White House to President Trump's remaining four years.
