WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrat Joe Biden appears to have defeated President Donald Trump to become the 46th president of the United States.  According to Fox News,  legal challenges are pending in key states.   Trump refused to concede and threatened further legal action. But the win in Pennsylvania sealed Biden’s victory after more than three tension-filled days of counting votes. Record numbers of Americans voted early and by mail, many out of concern about going to polling places during the coronavirus pandemic.
