President-elect, Joe Biden’s total tally of votes has surpassed 80 million, making him the first-ever presidential candidate in United States history to achieve the feat.
The vote-tracking count from the Cook Political Report reported the Democrat has so far received roughly 51 per cent of the national popular vote to Donald Trump’s 47.1 per cent.
Biden is the first presidential challenger to capture more than 50% of the popular vote while running against an incumbent since Franklin Delano Roosevelt defeated Herbert Hoover in 1932.
A total of 80,033,996 ballots have been cast for Biden, according to Cook Political Report data.
