Biden Wins, and the Nation Reacts
A victory in Pennsylvania secured the electoral college vote for the Democratic nominee, Joseph R. Biden Jr. Across the nation, Biden supporters celebrated as Trump supporters gathered in protest. President Trump has vowed to continue to challenge the results in key states.
“And it is now my great honor to introduce the president-elect of the United States of America, Joe Biden.” “Folks, the people of this nation have spoken. They’ve delivered us a clear victory, a convincing victory, a victory for We the People. We’ve won with the most votes ever cast for a presidential ticket in the history of the nation: 74 million. [cheering] It’s time to put away the harsh rhetoric, lower the temperature, see each other again, listen to each other again. And to make progress, we have to stop treating our opponents as our enemies. They are not our enemies — they’re Americans.” “But while I may be the first woman in this office, I will not be the last. [cheering and car horns] Because every little girl watching tonight sees that this is a country of possibilities. And to the children of our country, regardless of your gender, our country has sent you a clear message: Dream with ambition, lead with conviction and see yourselves in a way that others may not simply because they’ve never seen it before — but know that we will applaud you every step of the way.” [cheering] “Let’s go, baby, Biden-Harris. Let’s go, yeah!” [music, “Celebration” by Kool &amp; The Gang] “Biden!” “I heard screaming outside. I already knew what happened. I had to run here and celebrate with everyone.” “We did it! We got him out of office.” “It’s like, this is a place that cares about, you know, all kinds of people and love and compassion and justice.” “And I love what I’m seeing out here today, incredible, together. I’m going to go park my car, and I’m coming back. I want to join the party.” [music playing] “I’m so happy. I’m ready to bring everyone together again.” “I feel great, and they can go back and recount it three times, 11 times, 15 times — it’ll be the same thing.” “We love Trump! We love Trump!” “Stop the steal! Stop the steal!” “You are not about to undermine the voices of legal votes. We know what you’re up to.” “I think at this point, there’s so many questions about the election — just redo it.” “Cheaters, can’t trust them.” “I am a Trump supporter. Whether Trump wins or Biden wins, I want it to be fair.” “It is not over. We need to do recounts. We need to fight it.” “U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!” “We are in this fight, and we will win this fight.”
