The sounds of cheering, chanting and celebratory car horn honking filled the streets of New York City on Saturday morning following the announcement that Joe Biden defeated Donald Trump in the 2020 US Presidential Election.
Thousands took to the streets all over the five boroughs and across the US to celebrate the news, which came as a huge sigh of relief to millions after a tense week of unrest onset by delayed election results.
In Manhattan, Washington Square Park was the site of a massive gathering where, for the first time since April, it felt like New Yorkers were finally able to cut loose.
