Joe Biden has won the race to become the next US president, defeating Donald Trump following a cliff-hanger vote count after Tuesday's election, APA reports citing BBC.

The BBC projects that Mr Biden has won the key battleground of Pennsylvania, propelling him over the 270 electoral college vote threshold required to clinch the White House.

The Trump campaign has indicated their candidate does not plan to concede.

Mr Biden said it was now time for America to "unite and heal".

"With the campaign over, it's time to put the anger and the harsh rhetoric behind us and come together as a nation," he said.

Record turnout in the face of "unprecedented obstacles", he said, showed democracy "beats deep in the heart of America".
