The wait is finally over: Joe Biden has beaten Donald Trump and won the 2020 presidential election!
The nail-biting, days long race came to an end early on Saturday morning after multiple outlets reported that Biden surpassed the 270 electoral college votes needed to become the 46th President of the United States; crucial mail-in ballots tallied from the state of Pennsylvania took him and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris straight to the finish line!

Although the POOTUS is being a huge sore loser and currently pursuing litigation to contest the results, millions are beside themselves celebrating the end of an administration that, quite frankly, embraced bigotry and racism, and displayed a blatant disregard for the well-being of American citizens. Not to mention, Trump’s shamefully irresponsible response to the coronavirus pandemic, which has claimed the lives of over 200,000 in the States.
Our country might be more divided than ever, but voters overwhelming decided it was time to take out the trash and begin to move forward!
As the news broke across the nation, celebs instantly took to social media to celebrate the big Biden-Harris victory! The President-Elect was among the first to react and thank voters for their support:
America, I’m honored that you have chosen me to lead our great country.
The work ahead of us will be hard, but I promise you this: I will be a President for all Americans — whether you voted for me or not.
I will keep the faith that you have placed in me. pic.twitter.com/moA9qhmjn8

Harris followed suit, sharing a clip of herself on the phone with Joe shortly after she found out they made history:

Finally, a woman of color holding one of the highest offices in the land. We love to see it!!!
The congratulatory messages continued from former First Lady and Democratic Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton:
The voters have spoken, and they have chosen @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris to be our next president and vice president.
It's a history-making ticket, a repudiation of Trump, and a new page for America.
Thank you to everyone who helped make this happen. Onward, together. pic.twitter.com/YlDY9TJONs

Our neighbors up north were also elated by the news, as expressed in this note from Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau:
Congratulations, @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris. Our two countries are close friends, partners, and allies. We share a relationship that’s unique on the world stage. I’m really looking forward to working together and building on that with you both.

Meghan McCain‘s very personal dig couldn’t have come at a better time, and we’d like to think her late father John McCain would’ve appreciated it!!
Only a very personal note – I am relieved and look forward to having a president who respects POW’s who have been captured…
