The entire mainstream media is now referring to “President-Elect” Joe Biden. This is a lie. Not just because Joe Biden only has 259 electoral college votes as of this moment. And not just because the votes are still being counted or recounted in several states, which could still put President Trump over the 270-vote margin of victory. But because “President-Elect” is a specific legal term you can find in the US Constitution. Joe Biden is not the “President-Elect” under any definition of the term.
The Biden campaign even printed up a big sign that says “Office of the President Elect” that he put up behind him for a speech the other day. This was a signal to all of the media: You’d better start calling Joe the “President-Elect” if you know what’s good for you. Fox News, CNN and MSNBC all dutifully complied
The Electoral College will gather on December 14, 2020. When those folks vote, and one candidate receives 270 electoral votes, that person will then officially, legally and constitutionally bear the title of “President-Elect” until they’re sworn in on January 20.
