A 74-year-old Jamaica Estates developer has less than three months left at his current address after Americans overwhelmingly voted him out of the White House, the AP projected Saturday.
President Donald Trump, a Republican, lost his bid for reelection after a days-long vote count, becoming the 11th commander-in-chief to lose the presidency after a single four-year term and the first major-party candidate from Queens to twice lose the popular vote.
Trump trails former Vice President Joe Biden 284 to 213 in the Electoral College, according to the AP, with results in five states still unclear.
TV networks and national news outlets called the race for Biden after he achieved a decisive victory in the key state of Pennsylvania, vaulting him above the necessary 270-point threshold in the Electoral College.
Biden also leads the popular vote by more than 4 million ballots.
With his presidency in the balance Saturday, Trump visited his golf course while tweeting baseless claims of voter fraud.
In 2016, the Kew-Forest School alum became the first person from Queens elected president. He was also the first Queens man impeached.
