President-elect Joe Biden and vice president-elect Kamala Harris are expected to deliver speeches at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT tonight (Saturday, November 7) following their projected victory of the 2020 presidential election.
Major broadcast networks and outlets including ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, FOX, and C-SPAN will air the primetime event. You can catch the PBS News Hour livestream from YouTube below. The pair will be speaking from Wilmington, Delaware, and Senator Harris is up first, per Deadline.
While this will be Biden and Harris's first address following the election results, they have already acknowledged and celebrated their win earlier today. In a statement, the president-elect said, "I am honored and humbled by the trust the American people have placed in me and in Vice President-elect Harris. In the face of unprecedented obstacles, a record number of Americans voted. Proving once again, that democracy beats deep in the heart of America. With the campaign over, it's time to put the anger and the harsh rhetoric behind us and come together as a nation. It's time for America to unite. And to heal. We are the United States of America. And there's nothing we can't do, if we do it together."
Harris also shared a video of her phoning Biden after the election was called. "We did it. We did it, Joe. You're going to be the next President of the United States," she tells him on the phone, dressed casually in workout gear.
With close to 75 million votes at the time of writing (at least 4 million more than Trump), Biden broke the record for the most votes received by any presidential candidate in U.S. history. The record was previously held by President Barack Obama, who received 69.5 million votes in 2008.
