It is pertinent to mention here that Joe Biden’s victory is not yet a done deal. The Electoral College must formally present the results of the election to Congress in December, unless Trump concedes before then.
Donald Trump has ruled out concession and said he will challenge the results of the election up to the Supreme Court, claiming Biden’s win was fraudulent.
