How Democrat supporters celebrated and Trump followers mourned the victory of BidenHarris
Sunday, 8th November 2020
Jubilant Americans glorified the election of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris as the nation's next President and Vice president – bellowing horns, applauding and hopping in the streets throughout the United States.
While followers of President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence aimed out to display their dissatisfaction and to back the president, who has not admitted and declared a legal fight.
After Pennsylvania graced the state that put Biden over the 270-vote vestibule in the Electoral College, improvised street parties separated from Philadelphia to New York to Harris' hometown of Oakland, California, where supporters in face masks continued up operations with banners and signs below a cinema marquee reading "Every vote must be counted."
In Washington, DC, crowds gathered in the recently redubbed Black Lives Matter Plaza just walks from the White House and the position of massive demonstrations against racial inequality earlier this year. Outside Vaughn's Lounge in New Orleans, revellers soaked in a champagne shower.
The condition was severe amongst Trump backers near the Michigan Capitol in Lansing, where a woman in a supporter's T-shirt kept up a crucifix, a glum appearance on her face. In North Las Vegas, outside the local elections department services, an armed follower of the president raised a defiant fist in the air as red, white and blue Trump flags waved.
There were also pro-Trump protests from Atlanta to Philadelphia. The latter, like some other cities, witnessed people from different camps come face-to-face, pointing to some yelling and arguing back and forth.
