Joseph Robinette Biden Jr.

was elected the 46 th president of the United States on Saturday, promising to

restore political normalcy and a spirit of national unity to confront raging health and economic crises,
and making Donald J. Trump a one-term president after four years of tumult in the White House.

Mr. Biden’s victory amounted to a repudiation of Mr. Trump by millions of voters exhausted with his
divisive conduct and chaotic administration, and was delivered by an unlikely alliance of women, people
of color, old and young voters and a sliver of disaffected Republicans. Mr. Trump is only the third elected
president since World War II to lose re-election, and the first in more than a quarter-century.

The result also provided a history-making moment for Mr. Biden’s running mate, Senator Kamala Harris
of California, who will become the first woman to serve as vice president.

With his triumph, Mr. Biden, who turns 78 later this month, fulfilled his decades-long ambition in his
third bid for the White House, becoming the oldest person elected president. A pillar of Washington
who was first elected amid the Watergate scandal, and who prefers political consensus over combat,
Mr. Biden will lead a nation and a Democratic Party that have become far more ideological since his
arrival in the capital in 1973.

He offered a mainstream Democratic agenda, yet it was less his policy platform than his biography to
which many voters gravitated. Seeking the nation’s highest office a half-century after his first campaign,
Mr. Biden — a candidate in the late autumn of his career — presented his life of setback and recovery to
voters as a parable for a wounded country.

Appearing Saturday night before supporters at a drive-in rally in Wilmington, Del., and speaking against
the din of enthusiastic honking, Mr. Biden claimed the presidency and called on the country to reunite
after what he described as a toxic political interlude.

“Let this grim era of demonization in America begin to end here and now,” he said.

Without addressing Mr. Trump, the president-elect spoke directly to the president’s supporters and said
he recognized their disappointment. “I’ve lost a couple of times myself,” he recalled of his past failures
to win the presidency, before adding: “Now let’s give each other a chance.”

In a statement earlier in the day, Mr. Trump insisted “this election is far from over” and vowed that his
campaign would “start prosecuting our case in court” but offered no details.

Mr. Biden’s victory, which came 48 years to the day after he was first elected to the United States
Senate, set off jubilant celebrations in Democratic-leaning cities. In Washington, people streamed into
the streets near the White House and cheered as cars bearing American flags drove by honking.

The race, which concluded after four tense days of vote-counting in a handful of battlegrounds, was a
singular referendum on Mr. Trump in a way no president’s re-election has been in modern times. He
coveted the attention, and voters who either adored him or loathed him were eager to render judgment
on his tenure. From the beginning to the end of the race, Mr. Biden made the president’s character
central to his campaign.

This unrelenting focus propelled Mr. Biden to victory in historically Democratic strongholds in the
industrial Midwest with Mr. Biden forging a coalition of suburbanites and big-city residents to claim at
least three states his party lost in 2016. With ballots still being counted in several states, Mr. Biden was
leading Mr. Trump in the popular vote by more than four million votes.

Yet even as they turned Mr. Trump out of office, voters sent a more uncertain message about the left-
of-center platform Mr. Biden ran on as Democrats lost seats in the House and made only modest gains
in the Senate. The divided judgment — a rare example of ticket splitting in partisan times —
demonstrated that, for many voters, their disdain for the president was as personal as it was political.

Even in defeat, though, Mr. Trump demonstrated his enduring appeal to many white voters and his
intense popularity in rural areas, underscoring the deep national divisions that Mr. Biden has vowed to
heal.

In his address Saturday, Mr. Biden saluted Black voters, recalling how they revived his campaign at “its
lowest ebb,” back in February, and vowed to honor their loyalty. He sai

d the voters had made clear they wanted both parties “to cooperate in their interest” and said he’d
reach out to Republicans and Democrats alike.

President Trump was the first incumbent president to lose his re-election bid in more than a quarter-
century.
