Heralding in first woman of colour Vice President Kamala Harris
By Bennette Roach from reports

Besides not having the resources to publish a print copy of the newspaper, publishing the news of the result of the US 2020 Presidential election online was difficult. This was particularly so because of the uncertainty created by the outgoing president’s ability to bring reality to his threats whereby he promised he will not accept his loss at the polls.
Before going further and pulling quotes from 2016 we invite readers to follow this link where we headlined Donald Trump – new USA president: https://www.themontserratreporter.com/donald-trump-new-usa-president/
Joe Biden was elected president of the United States, after his projected victory in Pennsylvania took him over the winning line.
With all states projected, President-elect Biden has 306 electoral college votes and Donald Trump has 232. A candidate needs 270 or more to win.
Mr. Biden will become the 46th president in January, following the outcome of all legal challenges.

Even requested recounts in some areas, such as Georgia, where Mr. Biden had a lead of almost 15,000 votes did not change the outcome for the winners.

Mr. Biden’s running mate, Kamala Harris, will make history as the first woman vice-president, as well as the first black and the first Asian American vice-president.
Continuing, And, so it was! Although President Donald Trump and his wild lawyers, republicans, and supporters, seemingly exhausted every means of reversing what the majority of the voters (via the electoral college) had overwhelmingly decided, today the US Supreme Court once again in a ruling denied their efforts.
Quickly, so sure was the people living the reality that Joe Biden was indeed the president-elect, with Trump’s White House officials afraid of Trump’s, call it anything, from ire, selfishness to wickedness and stupidity, based on all the reports, debunked where necessary, the processes leading up to the inauguration of the new president Joe Biden, four years ago Obamas Vice President, will be sworn in.

It cannot be news to anyone by now, who must have heard, read or seen the news on TV or online, certainly at www.themontserratreporter.com and our social media platforms, Facebook, etc. that history was made at the end of the long counting of the votes, caused by pandemic, with Kamala Harris as America’s first Black, Indian and female vice president.
Writer Andrew Naughtie of the Independent records, “Despite Donald Writer Andrew Naughtie of the Independent records, “Despite Donald Trump’s furious insistence to the contrary, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have won the US election, far surpassing the 270 electoral votes needed to carry them to the White House.
Theirs is an unprecedented election victory in an unprecedented year. But Mrs. Harris, the California senator whose parents immigrated to America from Jamaica and India, will make a particular kind of history as the first woman, and the first person of color, to be elected as vice-president of the United States.”
Naughtie writes further about Harris: “The vice president-elect was born to an Indian mother, Shyamala Gopalan, and Jamaican father, Donald Harris, in 1964 and spent her early years in Berkeley, California.
After her early childhood in California, she moved to Canada when her mother took a job at McGill University in Montreal. She went on to attend Howard University in Washington, DC before returning to San Francisco for law school, passing the bar in 1990.
While her career as a prosecutor, district attorney, and state attorney general in California has drawn criticism from portions of the progressive left, her family background has thrilled many Black Americans and Indian-Americans – helping drive a massive fundraising haul for the ticket.
She has also received a warm reception in her mother’s homeland. In the days before the election, residents of her ancestral village of Thulasendrapuram, in Tamil Nadu in India, prayed for her success.
Harris was the second black woman [not too long ago] to be elected to the senate after Illinois’s Carol Moseley Braun, who served one term in the 1990s.
Looking back, and on, everything about Trump’s presidency will be remembered, soon by all, was dishonest – wreaking Trumpism, cultism… Words now thrown around, but would not have if a little decency or willingness to do what he claims, upholding the American Constitution, all of which is only more evidence of those choice words.
James Wagstaffe wrote a week after the November 3 polling, “Bottom line: you must have specific and credible evidence before you can file a lawsuit. And no surprise that the judges hearing these cases almost uniformly have and will continue to say “show me” or you’re out of here.”
And, even then, when SCOTUS continued or expectedly ended the fraud and evidenceless claims, “The president further declared, in an all-caps tweet that “WE HAVE JUST BEGUN TO FIGHT!!!”
