WASHINGTON - With the casting of their Electoral College votes Monday, electors formally gave Joe Biden more than the 270 electoral votes needed to certify his election victory.
With Hawaii’s four electoral votes the last to be tallied, Biden has 306 electoral votes to President Donald Trump’s 232, well beyond the threshold needed to win the presidency.
Biden has been a Democratic fixture on the U.S. political scene for nearly a half-century, and his Electoral College win makes Trump, a Republican, the fifth U.S. president in the country’s 244-year history to lose a bid for reelection after a single term in the White House.
The Electoral College vote is normally a routine formality in the quadrennial U.S. presidential election calendar. But since the November 3 national vote, Trump has repeatedly claimed without credible evidence the vote in key battleground states he lost to Biden by varying amounts was fraudulent, costing him reelection.
