WASHINGTON, D.C. – Joe Biden is projected to win the presidential election and become the 46th president of the United States, according to The Associated Press. Watch President-elect Joe Biden address the nation below.The win is historical in several ways. At 77 years old, Biden is now the oldest president-elect in U.S. history. The defeat over President Donald Trump also marks the first time an incumbent president has lost in the U.S. since George H.W. Bush was ousted by Bill Clinton in 1992.Biden's running mate, Sen. Kamala Harris, will also become the first female vice president in the nation's history, as well as the first African American VP and the first person of South Asian descent to hold the office.“Don’t tell me it’s not possible in the United States. It’s long overdue,” President-elect Biden said Saturday night of electing Kamala Harris as Vice President. “Once again, America has bent the arc of the universe more toward justice."During Saturday night's remarks, Vice President-elect Harris started with remarks about democracy. “America’s democracy is not guaranteed, it is only as strong as our will to fight for it, to guard it, and never take it for granted," said Vice President-Elect Kamala Harris.She also had a strong message for women and girls who were watching."While I may be the first woman in this office, I will not be the last," Harris said. The projected victory comes four days after Election Day. The former vice president earned enough votes in crucial battleground states to exceed the 270 electoral votes needed to claim victory Saturday.Biden's win in Pennsylvania put him over the 270 threshold and less than an our later, the AP projected he would also win Nevada, bringing him to a total of 290 electoral votes.Along with the Keystone State, Biden was able to pull Michigan and Wisconsin back into the Democrats’ corner after the party lost the upper Midwest states known as the “blue wall” in the 2016 presidential election.Saturday night, Biden had a message of unity and said he would focus on bringing the country together in his time in office."To make progress, we have to stop treating our opponents as our enemies. They are not our enemies, they are Americans," President-elect Biden said. “I’ll work as hard for those who didn’t vote for me as those who did.”He added, "We have an opportunity to defeat despair," and said there is nothing Americans have "tried that we cannot accomplish." Biden released the following statement about his projected win: 2521

Watching your dog get old is hard. You see the pain in their eyes when they can't get into the car or run after the ball.Veterinarians across the U.S. say it's not just old age, but arthritis that's causing your dog pain, and a new drug trial is working to make your furry companion feel better.One of the clinics testing the new drug is Paradise Animal Hospital in Catonsville, Maryland. Dr. Cheryl Burke says she to qualify for the trial, dogs have to have obvious signs of arthritis and cannot have cancer. At the clinic, they conduct blood tests, x-rays and a physical exam.Hannah, a blonde chow mix, came in for the procedure."She has a lot of trouble getting up and when she goes to walk up and down the stairs, she stares, like can I do this? Can I do this? Breaks my heart when I see that," Hannah's mom, Donna Foster said.Foster found out from a friend this clinic was conducting the trial and thought she'd take a chance, "I mean she's fourteen years old and basically she's really healthy so if I can keep her for another 20 years, I know that's not realistic but I will and I want her to have a quality of life."The trial was created in San Diego, by Animal Cell Therapies, and uses canine stem cells to grow cartilage in the joint, so the dog has more cushion when he/she walks or runs."Stem cells are the body's primitive precursor cells and we all have them, and when we're born, there's a huge population of them in our umbilical cord," Dr. Burke said.The stem cells adapt to the needs around them, so they could turn cancerous, something Dr. Burke and pet parents don't want. That's why dogs go through several tests (for free) before they can qualify.The clinic is doing the entire trial for free, to get FDA approval, so other pet parents can one day buy the drug.Part of the study requires that the test be double blind, meaning no one, even Dr. Burke can see which drug is given to the dog.Each dog undergoes the same procedure. Then pet parents come back for a one month, three month and six month check up to see how the dog is progressing.If the study is approved any dog who didn't get the drug will get it for free."If it's approved, it could be a few years, before it's on the market but it could be wonderful," Dr. Burke said.There is no ballpark figure as to how much the drug may cost, but dog lovers are hopeful it could help their furry friend have a longer, better life. 2431

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Election Day is less than 50 days away, but results from the election could take a lot longer.That's because a record number of voters are voting by mail this election and different states have different rules regarding when those ballots can be opened and processed. Absentee ballots or mail-in ballots generally take a lot longer to count compared to in-person voting machines, because ballots need to be opened and scanned. For instance, in the crucial swing states of Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, ballots can't be opened until Election Day. That differs from other states, like Colorado, which can open ballots as they come into election offices. That means it will take election officials in those swing states a herculean effort to process and scan ballots to get accurate results by the end of election night. Each state is facing either pending legislation at their State Capitol or various lawsuits asking the rules be changed. Those aren't the only reasons results may be delayed. In many states, like North Carolina, Georgia, Nevada and Minnesota, ballots are allowed to be postmarked on Election Day. That means it may take a few days to arrive to an election office. "I think we are looking at five to seven days to roughly a week," said Ted Trimpa, a political consultant. "The challenge is you are going to have so many states doing mail-in ballots that have never done mail ballots," Trimpa said. And it may not just be swing states that are the issue.In New York, a state that will almost certainty vote Democrat, primary results from earlier this year took four weeks in some cases. Henry Rosoff, a political reporter with WPIX in New York City, explained New York law requires 48 hours to pass after the election before absentee ballots can be counted. "We are not going to even begin to count half of our votes until 48 hours after Election Day," Rosoff said. "If we were a swing state, it would seem absolutely outrageous," Rosoff said. 1994
