In a country that is polarized and wounded by COVID-19 and divisive leadership, massive voter turnout resulted in a narrow election where Democrat Joe Biden was propelled into the finish line by large majorities of African-American voters.
On Saturday, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were projected winners of the 2020 election, relegating Donald Trump to a single term, which he refused to concede; his lawyers subsequently sought to legally maneuver to argue electoral fraud.
The Democratic presidential candidacy achieved its goal primarily because African-American communities rejected the Trump administration by wide margins, explained experts who discussed the numbers, history and motivations of African-American elections in the United States in a briefing with Ethnic Media Services media.
Pre-election polls and exit polls confirmed that the majority of white voters voted for President Donald Trump, but that Asian-American, Latino and African-American voters turned out in extraordinary numbers to oust the president and push for the first African-American woman to win the White House.
