United States Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell congratulated on Tuesday Joe Biden after the country's Electoral College declared that the Democrat has won the presidency, this way acknowledging Biden as a legitimate president-elect.
During his remarks delivered on the Senate floor, McConnell said that, as of "this morning, the US officially has a president-elect and a vice-president-elect."
The US Electoral College confirmed the Democrat's win in a 306-232 vote after weeks of Republicans' attempts to bring into question the regularity of the November elections.
