Joe Biden bo novi ameriški predsednik
Joe Biden will be the new US President
Written by Romana Dobnikar Šeruga, translated by JL Flanner & G Translate
Več kot tri dni je ves svet nestrpno čakal na rezultate ameriških predsedniških volitev. V soboto popoldne po našem času so tri največje ameriške televizijske hiše končno za zmagovalca razglasile demokratskega kandidata Joeja Bidna.
For more than three days, the whole world has been eagerly awaiting the results of the U.S. presidential election. On Saturday afternoon our time, the three largest American television stations finally declared the Democratic candidate Joe Biden the winner.
Donald Trump pa noče priznati poraza. Trdi, da volitve še niso končane. A v resnici ni več mogoče, da bi število nepreštetih glasov še spremenilo rezultat.
Donald Trump, however, refuses to admit defeat. He claims the election is not over yet. But in reality, it is no longer possible for the number of uncounted votes to change the result.
Joe Biden se je takoj po objavi neuradnih rezultatov oglasil s tvitom. »Ponosen sem, da ste me izbrali za to, da vodim našo véliko državo,« je zapisal. »Delo, ki je pred nami, bo težko, toda obljubljam vam tole: bom predsednik vseh Američanov – pa če ste volili zame ali ne. Upravičil bom vaše zaupanje.«
Joe Biden tweeted immediately after the unofficial results were announced. "I am proud that you have chosen me to lead our great country," he wrote. "The work ahead will be difficult, but I promise you this: I will be the president of all Americans - whether you voted for me or not. I will justify your trust. "
Joe Biden se bo v zgodovino zapisal kot najstarejši predsednik doslej – 20. novembra bo dopolnil 78 let.
Joe Biden will go down in history as the oldest president ever - on November 20, he will turn 78.
V zgodovino pa se bodo te volitve zapisale tudi s tem, ker je bila na podpredsedniško mesto prvič izvoljena ženska, in to temnopolta. Petinpetdesetletna Kamala Harris je hči priseljencev, mame Indijke in očeta z Jamajke. Vzgojena je bila v večinsko črnski soseski in se že vse življenje sooča z rasizmom. Biden jo je označil za »bojevnico za malega človeka«.
However, these elections will also go down in history because a black woman was elected vice-president for the first time. Fifty-five-year-old Kamala Harris is the daughter of immigrants, an Indian mother and a Jamaican father. She was raised in a predominantly black neighbourhood and has faced racism all her life. Biden called her a "warrior for the little man."
Na novico o zmagi se je v pogovoru z Bidnom odzvala s svojim značilnim gromkim smehom:
She responded to the news of the victory in a conversation with Biden with her characteristic loud laugh:
