After a roller coaster of a term in the Oval Office, Republican incumbent Donald Trump's hopes of another four years in office were squashed when former Democratic Vice President Joe Biden beat him in the 2020 presidential election.
\u201cJOE BIDEN DEFEATS PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP \n\nThe Associated Press declares Joe Biden the winner of a grueling campaign for the American presidency. He will lead a polarized nation through a historic collision of health, economic and social crises. \n\n#APracecall\u201d— The Associated Press (@The Associated Press) 1604766491
The Associated Press and other national news outlets called the win for Biden after he and vice presidential pick Kamala Harris (who will be the first woman of color to hold the office of VP in American history!) were projected to secure Pennsylvania's electoral votes in what was a super tight race.
Considering the madness that has ensued ever since he took office in 2017, like the harmful, awful anti-trans/anti-LGBTQ+ track record his administration has, people everywhere we celebrating:
