Verdict: False
The claim is inaccurate.
Fact Check:
Vice President Kamala Harris conceded the presidential election at an event at Howard University and told supporters to accept the results, The Associated Press reported. Trump received the necessary 270 electoral votes after Wisconsin was called for him Wednesday morning, but the results for the House of Representatives are not called yet, according to the outlet.
A post shared on X, formerly known as Twitter, purports Biden made a post calling Harris a slur because he is no longer in the race. The post shared a screenshot of the alleged tweet that includes a silver checkmark to identify political accounts.
The alleged post reads, “That’s what you get for kicking me out of the race, you stupid b***h.”
The claim is inaccurate. The post appeared on an Elon Musk parody account. The account’s bio reads, “I’m on a quest to bang AOC on Mars. (Parody Account).”
There is no such post on any of Biden’s social media accounts. No search results reveal that this is an actual post from Biden.
The President did post after the results of the election by complementing Harris and the campaign that she ran. He said, “Under extraordinary circumstances, she stepped up and led a historic campaign that embodied what’s possible when guided by a strong moral compass and a clear vision for a nation that is more free, more just, and full of more opportunities for all Americans.”
What America saw today was the Kamala Harris I know and deeply admire.
She’s been a tremendous partner and public servant full of integrity, courage, and character.
Under extraordinary circumstances, she stepped up and led a historic campaign that embodied what’s possible when…

Biden will addressed the nation on Thursday morning in response to Trump’s victory in which he again complemented Harris and said he will focus the transition of power being peaceful, CBS News reported. (RELATED: Did Nancy Pelosi Say It Is Not A Good Morning After The Election?)
