Joe Biden will be the 46th President of the United States, after defeating Donald Trump in the US Election.
Biden took formerly Republican state Pennsylvania's vote, putting him over 270 electoral votes and winning the former Vice President the election.
The news came as vote counting rolled into a fifth day.
Biden's route to victory was by winning back the states such as Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania - which Republican Trump had won by slim margins in 2016.
It means his running mate, Kamala Harris will be both the first woman and person of colour to be elected Vice President.
The race was called following the release of 3,000 counted votes from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania shortly after 4pm UK time, which pushed Biden's lead in the state above 30,000 votes.
President Trump was playing golf on his Virginia golf course when the news broke.
Early on Thursday morning, Trump tweeted "STOP THE COUNT", blaming his plummeting poll leads on postal vote "fraud" and dishonest counting practices.
Aides reportedly had to explain to the President that stopping the count at that point would mean he would automatically lose the election.
This morning, as it became clear Biden had taken Pennsylvania, the Trump campaign issued a statement warning "this election is not over."
