The elections over, theres a, in the United States, we have a tradition that when it is clear whos going to win, because they have the majority of votes that are needed for any office and for president , its the majority of the Electoral College votes. Even though there are still some technical things that have to do, there are, in some key states have to certify the elections. The certification often doesnt happen for weeks after the election.
