It didn't take long for Joe Biden supporters to start celebrating across the country after he was named president-elect of the U.S. on Saturday morning.
News of Biden winning Pennsylvania – the state that gave him the electoral votes to pass the almighty 270 threshold – was reported by the Associated Press around 11:30 a.m. EST Saturday, and Americans soon flooded the streets in New York City, Washington, D.C. and beyond.
Some celebrators popped champagne, others danced, and many honked horns as Donald Trump became the first president since George H.W. Bush to be denied a second term in office by voters. While many celebrated, some supporters of President Donald Trump flocked to state capitols as encouraged by a campaign called "Stop the Steal," an effort to delegitimize the vote count that was booted from Facebook for spreading misinformation and inciting violence.
