Fox News (among many other outlets[*]) is reporting: Biden wins presidency, Trump denied second term in White House:
Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden has defeated President Trump, denying him a second term after a bitter campaign and dramatic, prolonged vote count in battleground states that sparked a flurry of lawsuits.
The Fox News Decision Desk projected Saturday that Biden will win the state of Nevada and the commonwealth of Pennsylvania, giving the former vice president the electoral votes he needs to win the White House.
[...] "I am honored and humbled by the trust the American people have placed in me and in Vice President-elect Harris," Biden said in a statement. "In the face of unprecedented obstacles, a record number of Americans voted. Proving once again, that democracy beats deep in the heart of America."
He added: "With the campaign over, it's time to put the anger and the harsh rhetoric behind us and come together as a nation."
Biden's campaign announced that the president-elect and Harris, his running mate, will speak at an event in his hometown of Wilmington, Delaware at 8 p.m. ET.
Joseph Biden would become the 46th President of the US; U.S. Senator Kamala Harris of California, the 49th Vice President.

IMPORTANT: There are still votes to be counted, a recount has been requested in one state, and there are numerous court challenges launched by the Trump campaign. Further, nothing is official until the actual vote by the Electoral College.

We will come together only in the graveyards, after we slaughter one another. Whomsoever conquers this continent next will amusedly permit the survivors' descendants to vent their frustrations by taking turns pulling down the monuments to each others' dead, in between their scheduled toil in servitude.

Hey! That sounds straight out of the Book of Mormon! Are you a Nephite, or a Lamanite? And what happened with the White Horse's Ass Prophecy, anyway?

Was supposed to be Romney. Did not work out so well, as many of the Prophet's prophecies do. The one about how in the future, all Mormons would have flying buggies? And unlimited wives? Neither of those worked out.

Is it actually out of the Book of Mormon?
