Democrat leader Joe Biden was declared the 46th President-elect of the United States after the prolonged counting of the polls concluded on Saturday. Biden's running mate Indian-origin Kamala Harris became the first woman of colour to be the vice president-elect of US creating history.
To mark the mood of victory following a closely-fought race to the White House, Biden's granddaughter Naomi Biden took to Twitter to share a heartwarming image of Joe embraced by his grandchildren.
The image, which in no time went massively viral, was captioned with '7.11.2020', the date which saw the triumph of Biden over the Republican candidate and former US President Donald Trump.
The picture features at least five family members of Biden captured in sort of a polaroid version.
