Joe Biden has promised to be a “President for all Americans” after topping the 270 electoral college votes needed for victory over Donald Trump in the US presidential race. The former vice-president was called as the winner of Pennsylvania on Saturday, meaning he has an insurmountable lead in the race for the White House. Mr Biden, who also won Nevada, said he is “honoured” that America has “chosen me to lead our great country”, adding that it is time for the US to “unite” and “heal”. Prime Minister Boris Johnson congratulated Mr Biden and Vice President-Elect Kamala Harris, adding: “The US is our most important ally and I look forward to working closely together on our shared priorities, from climate change to trade and security.”
