AllSides Media Bias Rating: Center
In the United States, Democrat Joe Biden is now being called the president-elect.
That means Biden, a fixture on the Washington political scene for nearly a half century, is the country’s leader-in-waiting.
President-elect is a descriptive term not an official office. As such, Biden has no power in the government, and he won’t until he is inaugurated at noon on January 20, 2021.
