Within hours of the results, a huge crowd was also spotted on Black Lives Matter Plaza outside the White House, where supporters cheered and held a balloon representing Trump\u2019s face and hair.In Times Square, New York, people danced and had a good time celebrating the loss of Trump, the only one-term serving president after George W Bush.After four nail biting days, in Pennsylvania, the state where Biden was born, celebrations erupted as soon as he was announced the winner. The streets were filled with people from different walks of life who came together to celebrate the momentous moment.Celebrities also took it to their social media to celebrate Biden\u2019s win. Basketball stars LeBron James shared a meme of Trump’s signature one-liner “You’re Fired” while celebrities John Legend and Chrissy Teigen showed themselves dancing to the \u201cFDT\u201d song by YG.Miley Cyrus\u2019s song, Party In The USA has also seen a spike in sales following news of Biden presidency.How are world leaders reacting to the news?Biden\u2019s victory signifies a new America and a new leader in the White House who is set to relook the country\u2019s policies. Here are the reactions of some world leaders to the news.SingaporePrime Minister (PM) Lee Hsien Loong congratulated both Biden and Kamala Harris on their win and hopes that the US will continue to count on Singapore as a partner and a friend.AustraliaPM Scott Morrison wrote on Twitter that he wishes the duo success and will working with them closely as they face the world\u2019s many challenges together.CanadaPM Justin Trudeau expressed congratulations to the Biden Harris campaign, highlighting how the two countries are close friends, allies, and partners. He is looking forward to working with both Biden and Harris.Under Trump\u2019s administrations, Trudeau and Trump had clashed over trade and have introduced tariffs on goods. It is expected that under Biden, the relations may improve.FijiPM Frank Bainimarama was one of the first foreign leaders to congratulate Biden on his win. His message focused on the climate emergency and how he hopes US will re-enter the Paris agreement once again.New ZealandNew Zealand’s PM Jacintha Arden, who won a re-election in October for a second term took to Twitter to congratulate the duo and is very much looking forward to develop a closer relationship under the Biden administration.MexicoUnlike the other leaders, Mexico\u2019s President Andr\u00e9s Manuel L\u00f3pez Obrador (or AMLO, as he is called)\u00a0have said that he will only be sending congratulations once all the legal matters are resolved.The end of Trump nationBiden\u2019s win also represents the end of Trump\u2019s war on democracy where Biden is looking to reshape and rework America to be a progressive but welcoming country like it once was.Through out his presidency, Trump has over and over again caused racial tensions, twisting facts to favour it. But after Biden\u2019s historic win, it may be time to say goodbye to four years of populism and administrative turmoil under Trump\u2019s administration.How are Trump supporters reacting to the news?On the flipside, another group of Americans are unhappy with the results and\u00a0back Trump’s allegations that there were voter frauds, determined that Trump has actually won the presidency election.Unlike in states like New York, the mood in Michigan State was rather sombre. Trump loyal supports were chanting \u201cThis is not over\u201d and \u201cWe will be here forever\u201d.In Arizona, where the tides went against the incumbent president, Trump supporters shouted “Trump won!” and \u201cWe will win in court\u201d, referring to the countless legal challenges that Trump has filed. Some supporters were also quick to blame the media for declaring Biden the winner.Celebrating the first woman vice president: Kamala HarrisKamala Harris becomes the first woman vice president in USA, making it a historic moment for the country. Not only on that, she also becomes the first black and South Asian American woman to become the vice president in US. She is also the daughter of immigrant\u2019s parents \u2013 making her victory a very special one.In her victory speech, Harris pledged that though she may be the first woman to be vice president, she definitely wouldn\u2019t be the last.Her win has also allowed more people of colour to be represented which is desperately lacking in today\u2019s day and age.What her win means for women around the world?No woman has ever been president in the United States but with Harris breaking the boundaries and being the first female vice president, hopefully it won\u2019t be long before a woman is elected as president.15-year old Baluchi Okeke, who is interested in being a politician, said, “I don\u2019t usually see teachers that are Black, and to see a vice-president that (is) Black, it (is) so inspiring. I always wanted to veer into politics, and this empowered me.”“I feel like not only me, but many girls my age \u2014 many Black girls, many Brown girls, many Hispanic girls \u2014 feel exactly how I am\u2026 that we could do better and that our colour doesn\u2019t limit us.”Harris’ position in American politics has impacted the lives of girls in the country and now as vice president-elect, it may further open countless doors of hope and possibilities for them. Join the conversations on THG’s\u00a0Facebook\u00a0and\u00a0Instagram, and get the latest updates via\u00a0Telegram.\u00a0"},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"International","item":"https:\/\/thehomeground.asia\/international\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"US Election: The World Reacts to Biden’s Presidential Win","item":"https:\/\/thehomeground.asia\/international\/us-election-the-world-reacts-to-bidens-presidential-win\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
