In the first round in the libel legal battle between the footballers wives, Rebekah Vardy is 1 0 up against colleen rooney. The secretary of state for georgia has certified joe biden as the winner of the election in the state after a recount.

Many of course will privately accept thatjoe biden won the election. What
