Huge cheers and celebrations erupted on the streets of major US cities within minutes of Joe Biden being announced as the next president. The news was greeted with wild celebrations by Democrat supporters who have been following every twist and turn of the election count. People have been seen dancing in Black Lives Matter plaza in Washington DC while loud cheers could be heard across New York – the city where Donald Trump was born.
Crowds were equally loud in Philadelphia, where supporters of the two presidential candidates have been lining the streets waiting for news who has won the key swing state of Pennsylvania.
