After days of vote counts in battleground states, the next U.S. president has been decided by the American people. Joe Biden will serve as the 46th president, alongside Kamala Harris as vice president. Their wins are both historic — Biden becomes only the third presidential candidate since World War II to beat an incumbent president and Harris becomes the first woman to serve as vice president. Crowds filled the streets of major U.S. cities after the election was called, putting an end to four tumultous years of the Trump presidency. Edward Keenan, Toronto Star’s Washington bureau chief, returns to ‘This Matters’ to talk about the election win, the fallout for the US and what a Biden presidency means for the Canada-US relationship, for the next four years.
