President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris have secured more than 80 million votes as absentee ballots continued to be counted Tuesday, making them the first presidential ticket in U.S. history to achieve this milestone.

The Cook Political Report on Tuesday indicated3aq that Biden and Harris had gained roughly 51 percent of the popular vote with 80,033,996 ballots, while President Trump and Vice President Pence held about 47.1 percent with 73,878,907.

The news comes amid record voter turnout in the 2020 election, prior to which no presidential ticket had received over 69.4 million votes, the record held by former President Barack Obama during the 2008 presidential election.
