"We are very happy that for the first time a woman of Indian origin was elected for vice President. I would like to congratulate Kamala Harris," he said. On November 6, Pattnaik highlighted the dilemma of millions who are waiting eagerly for the final results of US elections through sand art. Biden, defeated Trump in a closely contested election and will be the 46th president of the United States. At 78 years, he is the oldest elected President in the history of the US. In his third attempt at the White House, Biden, a four-decade Washington figure as a Senator and then a vice president, received more than 74 million votes, four million more than Trump, and more than any other presidential candidate. Kamala Harris is also the first woman, Black American and Asian-American to become Vice President of the United States.
