The speaker of the US House of Representatives said that Joe Biden, as the president-elect of the people of the United States, will soon announce his victory.

Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told at a news conference on Friday that Democrat candidate Joe Biden is leading the way in the 2020 presidential election with more than 70 million votes cast. She stated that a historical number of votes have been achieved.

According to Pelosi, Biden will unite all the people.

Pelosi's remarks came as the counting of votes in the crucial US states continued, meanwhile US President Donald Trump again claimed the election is rigged, and widespread corruption and electoral fraud has been committed. 

Democrats and many Republican leaders have called Trump's protest baseless.

Joe Biden, the Democratic candidate in the 2020 US presidential election, is ahead of Trump in the electoral vote counting.

Each candidate must get at least 270 electoral votes to reach the White House.
