BU Students Reflect on Historic 2020 Presidential Election
The 2020 US presidential election was a nail-biter right to the end, a race so tight that it took days for a handful of key battleground states to complete their vote counts. But on Saturday, November 7, four days after Election Day, Joseph Biden, Jr., was declared president-elect after winning Pennsylvania’s 20 electoral votes, putting him 14 over the necessary 270. And even though the current president has yet to concede, Biden is expected be sworn in as the nation’s 46th president on January 20, 2021, along with his vice presidential running mate, Senator Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), who will become the first woman, and first Black person, ever to hold that office.
On an unseasonably warm fall day earlier this week, BU Today stopped by the BU Beach to speak with students and ask them to share their thoughts on this year’s historic election and the issues they want to see the Biden-Harris administration tackle first.
