Joe Biden National Congress of American Indians congratulates Joe Biden
Washington/Sputnik: The National Congress of American Indians (NCAI) has congratulated Joe Biden and his running mate Kamala Harris on victory in the presidential election, saying that the turnout from Native voters was pivotal in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Arizona.
"NCAI looks forward to working closely with the Biden-Harris transition team in the coming weeks to ensure that Indian Country’s key priorities are addressed, and with the Biden-Harris Administration over the next four years to strengthen the government-to-government relationship and the federal government’s fulfillment of its trust and treaty obligations to tribal nations," the NCAI said in a Saturday statement.
The NCAI is the oldest, largest and most representative American Indian and Alaska Native organization in the US.
NCAI’s congratulations to Biden came after multiple politicians and world leaders congratulated Biden.
While Biden claimed victory in the 2020 presidential election earlier on Saturday, his Republican rival, incumbent President Donald Trump, has argued that the race was not over yet.
Trump said his campaign was going to begin asserting its claim to victory in the election in court.
Trump also said on Twitter earlier on Saturday that he had 71,000,000 legal votes and won the presidential election.
THE OBSERVERS WERE NOT ALLOWED INTO THE COUNTING ROOMS. I WON THE ELECTION, GOT 71,000,000 LEGAL VOTES. BAD THINGS HAPPENED WHICH OUR OBSERVERS WERE NOT ALLOWED TO SEE. NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. MILLIONS OF MAIL-IN BALLOTS WERE SENT TO PEOPLE WHO NEVER ASKED FOR THEM!
