Decision Desk HQ has called Joe Biden as the winner of the 2020 presidential election, and says Biden is preparing to be the country's 46th president.
Until October, US President Donald Trump had still refused to commit to transferring power peacefully, should Joe Biden be named president-elect.
Eventually, though, Trump backed down, saying he didn't want a transfer because he wanted to win.
Now, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is seeking to soothe those who fear Trump may change his mind again.
Business Insider reports McConnell assured a peaceful transfer of power between the Trump and Biden administrations.
We've had a peaceful transfer of power going back to 1792.
Every four years, we've moved on to a new administration.
