The Russian government will not acknowledge President-elect Joe Biden's victory in the 2020 US election, the Kremlin's spokesperson said early Monday. "There are ongoing legal processes," spokesman Dmitry Peskov said in a statement. "We believe the correct thing to do is wait for the official election result." Biden is projected to win at least 279 electoral votes with victories in battleground states like Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania, all of which President Donald Trump won in the 2016 election. The number needed to clinch the presidency is 270.
