Where Was Biden on Election Day? A Look Back at November 3, 2020
You know the drill. Election Day, the day that feels like it takes forever, the day that leaves you glued to the TV, refreshing your browser every five seconds. And, of course, the day when everyone is wondering where the candidates are. So, where was Joe Biden on November 3, 2020, the day he was elected President of the United States?
Well, it wasn't a day of campaigning, rallies, or even public appearances. He was in Wilmington, Delaware, his home state, where he cast his ballot that morning. He then spent the day with his family, awaiting the results of the election, much like the rest of us.
The anticipation was palpable. Biden, along with his running mate Kamala Harris, had campaigned on a platform of restoring normalcy and unity after a tumultuous four years under President Trump. The election was incredibly close, with the outcome hanging in the balance for days.
But on November 7th, Biden was officially declared the winner. He celebrated with his family and supporters, and the world watched as he delivered his victory speech, promising to be a president for all Americans.
While Biden spent Election Day in a more relaxed setting than his opponent, the tension and excitement of the day were certainly not lost on him. His journey to the White House had been long and arduous, and the wait for the results was no doubt filled with both hope and trepidation.
The rest, as they say, is history. But it's interesting to think about the contrast between Biden's Election Day and that of his predecessor. Trump was in the White House on Election Day, watching the returns come in and, some would say, stoking the flames of division. Biden, on the other hand, was at home with his family, waiting patiently for the results.
It's a moment that speaks volumes about the different approaches of the two presidents, and it's a reminder that even the most powerful people in the world are still human beings. And sometimes, even on Election Day, they just want to be at home with their loved ones.
