Biden to spend election night in Delaware

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden will spend election night in his home state of Delaware, his campaign announced Saturday.

The former vice president will be joined by his wife, Jill Biden, and vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris and her husband, Doug Emhoff. Biden is expected to give remarks from Wilmington, the same place where he accepted the party’s nomination in August.

President Trump is expected to remain in Washington, D.C., for election night, though it remains unclear where exactly he will watch the results. The president initially planned to attend a party at his downtown hotel, but such an event would be subject to the District’s limit on gatherings amid the coronavirus pandemic.

“I’ll be perhaps between the White House and the hotel,” Trump told reporters on Saturday morning. “I guess they have a limit. They’ve placed limits on the hotel, which is unfortunate.”

The final results of the election may not be apparent on election night given the influx of mail-in ballots this cycle amid the pandemic.

Certain states, such as Pennsylvania, will not begin counting those ballots prior to Election Day, meaning it likely will take some time before a winner is formally declared.
