After nearly four days of ballot counting, the results of the US elections were finally out last night. Joe Biden won the next presidency of United States of America defeating the incumbent Donald Trump.
America, I’m honored that you have chosen me to lead our great country.
— Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) November 7, 2020
The work ahead of us will be hard, but I promise you this: I will be a President for all Americans — whether you voted for me or not.
I will keep the faith that you have placed in me. pic.twitter.com/moA9qhmjn8
Soon after winning the elections, Kamala Harris, the vice-president elect shared a video of her calling to congratulate Joe Biden.
We did it, @JoeBiden. pic.twitter.com/oCgeylsjB4

And of course, Twitter had a lot of reactions and responses to the historic result. People from around the world, including family, friends and world leaders, congratulated Biden and Harris on their big victory.
Heartiest congratulations @KamalaHarris! Your success is pathbreaking, and a matter of immense pride not just for your chittis, but also for all Indian-Americans. I am confident that the vibrant India-US ties will get even stronger with your support and leadership.
— Narendra Modi (@narendramodi) November 7, 2020
Congratulations @JoeBiden on your spectacular victory! As the VP, your contribution to strengthening Indo-US relations was critical and invaluable. I look forward to working closely together once again to take India-US relations to greater heights. pic.twitter.com/yAOCEcs9bN

And after we celebrate — and we should all take a moment to exhale after everything we’ve been through — let’s remember that this is just a beginning. It’s a first step. Voting in one election isn’t a magic wand, and neither is winning one.

There was some expectation that foreign leaders would wait until a Trump concession before congratulating Biden. The fact so many didn’t speaks to the momentum behind Biden and foreign assessments of Trump’s legal arguments.

Just dawned on me—For the first time in years, US will have someone who likes evidence, governs using science, won’t peddle quack theories and drugs, will fact check statements and accept fact check corrections, & will put reality before imaginary conspiracies. REFRESHING. #Biden pic.twitter.com/ACPfLIwnqo

It’s a history-making ticket, a repudiation of Trump, and a new page for America.
Thank you to everyone who helped make this happen. Onward, together. pic.twitter.com/YlDY9TJONs

I want to congratulate all those who worked so hard to make this historic day possible. Now, through our continued grassroots organizing, let us create a government that works for ALL and not the few. Let us create a nation built on justice, not greed and bigotry.

You know, Joe Biden is not a perfect person. But I believe he is a good person. An empathic person. A caring person. A public servant. And it is reassuring to know that someone like that will be our President again.

Trump can at least take solace in the fact that no president in history has had a farewell party bigger than his.
— Marc Shkolnick (@mshkolnick) November 8, 2020
Goodbye Trump. China bids you farewell. We are expecting a new wave of cooperation with President Elect Biden.

It’s easier to be a parent this morning.
Character MATTERS.
Being a good person MATTERS.
This is a big deal.
It’s easy to do it the cheap way and get away with stuff — but it comes back around.

Today isn’t about celebrating in the face of those that oppose your views and values, but celebrating from a place of LOVE – combating the hate that has encompassed and oppressed so many of us the past four years. Let the healing begin. 🙏🏼
