Biden breaks record for most votes in history for any presidential candidate
Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden has won more votes than any other president in American history.
Mr Biden broke the previous record - held by Barack Obama - on Wednesday afternoon after earning more than 67.7m votes.
Mr Obama set the record in 2008 when he received 69.4m votes.
The former vice president's record-setting numbers are likely a result of this year's especially high voter turnout. The US is on course to have its largest voter turnout in the last century.
