Joe Biden Wins the Presidency
Joseph R. Biden Jr. will become the 46th president of the United States when he is inaugurated on January 20, 2021, having denied Donald Trump a second term of office….

Joseph Robinette Biden Jr., the former vice president and twice previously a failed candidate for the presidency, was declared the 46th president of the United States on Saturday, after four days of electoral uncertainty, back-and-forth lead changes in almost a dozen key states, protests at election offices in Michigan and Arizona, and continuing threats of legal action by the incumbent president, Donald J. Trump.
The race was called by the Associated Press on Saturday at around 11:30, when the 20 Electoral College votes from Pennsylvania pushed Biden across the 270-vote finish line. It was an extraordinary turn of events, as Trump started the week with a huge edge in same-day Election Day voting in Pennsylvania, one that Biden gradually and decisively chipped away at as the advance ballots were counted over the next four days. At about 9 a.m. on Friday, a new batch of votes from Philadelphia were announced—advance voting in that city had been going for Biden by roughly 90% to 10% over Trump—giving Biden a 5,000 vote lead in Pennsylvania, the first since election results had begun to reported three days earlier. Biden also led in three states that had not yet been officially called—Georgia, Nevada, and Arizona—but the Pennsylvania results gave Biden a lead that Trump was now incapable of overcoming.
Biden, who will turn 78 later this month, will be the oldest man ever to be inaugurated as president when he takes the oath of office on January 20, 2021. Biden’s running mate, California senator Kamala Harris, born of immigrant parents from India and Jamaica, becomes the first woman ever elected to the vice presidency, achieving a goal that eluded Geraldine Ferraro in 1984 and Sarah Palin in 2008. She also becomes the first Black woman to be elected to national office.
President Trump—who began his presidency by talking about “American carnage” and exaggerating the size of his inaugural crowd, and then spent most of 2020 denying the seriousness of the coronavirus pandemic—is the first incumbent president not to be elected to a second term since George H.W. Bush in 1992.
This was an election week like no other. In the early morning hours of Wednesday, President Trump took the startling position of declaring that—based on the same-day vote already recorded—he had won the presidency and would mount a legal challenge if the final tally did not go his way. “Millions and millions of people voted for us,” Trump said in a mask-free gathering in the East Room of the White House. “And a very sad group of people is trying to disenfranchise that group of people.” Added Trump: “So we’ll be going to the Supreme Court.… We will win this, and as far as I’m concerned, we already have.”

Nike Zoom Hyperflight “Safari” Official Images Reveal Bold Print Ahead of Holiday Release
The Nike Zoom Hyperflight is getting a bold new look, with the “Safari” colorway coming soon. We have official photos of the unique design for a closer look. The sneaker sports bright orange accents and a translucent outsold, and is expected to arrive during the holiday season at a retail price of $190.
The new version is inspired by the Safari print that is familiar from the Air Safari. That pattern covers most of the Hyperflight’s soft, molded upper, giving the basketball shoe a unique look compared with some of the model’s other recent colorways. Together, the unusual texture and pattern make the silhouette feel especially suited to the adventurous design.
The primary contrast across the shoe is orange, used in the trim and other details. The bright color pops against the speckled base without being overwhelming. Black is also present in the design, on the glossy support structure around the midfoot and the soft leather collar. The look is topped off with a see-through outsole that adds another visual element to the overall color scheme.
The sneaker will drop with style code IZ2573-010 and is expected in men’s sizing. With a retail price tag of $190, Nike, Foot Locker, and Sheikh are among the expected retailers. As for when you can expect it, it’s likely to be the holiday season, though we don’t have a solid release date.
The “Safari” colorway comes amid a busy period for the Zoom Hyperflight. This year, Nike has revived the model in several colors, bringing a new wave of attention to the silhouette through a series of releases. Another forthcoming option is the vibrant “Green Apple” pair, also scheduled for a holiday season release.
The Hyperflight’s history also provides context for the latest return. Jason Williams wore the model in the early 2000s, linking it to a memorable era for the sneaker. That association also helps explain why new colorways can generate excitement beyond the shoe’s look, especially for those who remember it from its previous run.
The Safari design is a definitive statement that does not change the characteristic shape of the Hyperflight. Instead, it uses the familiar silhouette as a canvas for a pattern that has already become recognizable through another Nike model. The orange accents provide a bright contrast, while the black midfoot structure and collar balance it out.
Now that official images have surfaced, sneaker fans have a clearer idea of what to expect from the holiday release. The $190 price, style code, and expected retail partners have also been identified, but a specific launch date has not been confirmed.
For Nike, the “Safari” is another way to bring attention back to the Zoom Hyperflight. One of its more distinctive new looks is this returning model, featuring speckled print, orange trim, black support details, and an icy-looking translucent outsole.

Lil Yachty Previews Another Nike Air Force 1 Mid, This Time With Blue and Orange Stitching
Lil Yachty has added another eye-catching design to his ever-growing collection of Nike US Force 1 Mids, this time going for a cleaner white look accented by blue and orange stitching. The rapper’s latest take on the shoe keeps the familiar silhouette. Still, it uses contrasting details to give the shoe its own identity, something the artist is known for, showing off a steady run of variations on the silhouette.
Dubbed the “White Contrast Stitch,” the pair features white leather across most of the upper. Rather than altering the classic Air Force 1 Mid profile or incorporating a strange material, the design uses stitching to separate the design visually. Blue stitching embellishes the leather panels, and each side of the shoe’s Swoosh is lined with orange.
The combo adds a subtle but noticeable splash of color to the mostly white sneaker. It’s a more muted take than some of the more adventurous pairs Yachty has shown recently, so this version feels like the more no-nonsense option in his growing collection.
The new design adds to the long list of Air Force 1 Mid looks associated with the rapper this year. Earlier previews have featured a stars-and-stripes pair, an orange version with black stars, and a yellow colorway tied to ComplexCon. Each has put a different spin on the familiar silhouette, helping make Yachty’s run of designs a continuing talking point among sneaker watchers.
Earlier this year, another pair of the shoes, this time with blue and red detailing and thick white stitching, was also teased. That version is expected to launch around the holidays, but the details provided don’t confirm whether it will launch alongside the recently unveiled white one.
Some questions remain unanswered about the “White Contrast Stitch” design. Nike has not confirmed any price, style code, or even whether the sneaker will be released to the public. The design has drawn attention through its online appearance and Yachty’s preview, but neither sets a launch date nor guarantees consumers can buy it.
That anticipation makes the latest reveal more of a first look than a proper release announcement. The white leather upper and blue-and-orange stitching are on display, but key retail details remain unknown. For now, there is no confirmed timeline for when the pair might hit stores, or if it will be offered beyond the preview.
Still, the design adds another variation to a collection that has featured a wide variety of colors and details. The white base makes this one more subtle, while the contrast stitching keeps it from being a straight-up all-white release.
Yachty’s latest preview continues his ongoing relationship with the silhouette, with several other Air Force 1 Mid designs already shown this year. It’s not clear if the “White Contrast Stitch” pair will ever make it to the light of day, but it’s definitely added another distinct look to his growing collection.
