On Saturday, the festive atmosphere took over Washington DC with Biden supporters flooding Black Lives Matter plaza outside the White House. Thousands of Biden supporters took to the streets within seconds of the announcement that Biden had won Pennsylvania. Most Biden supporters wore Black Lives Matter tops and waved US and LGBT+ flags. People banged pots and pans outside the White House, and sang, “Nah Nah Nah Nah, hey hey hey, goodbye”, one man shouted, “He’s gone!” Biden supporters were blocking the streets as celebrators sat on top of their cars and one person wearing an American cape waved a banner that read, “The nightmare is over”. Most Biden supporters were wearing masks, held up signs that mocked the “loser” Trump.

A large number of Biden-Harris signs were raised aloft as people danced to songs like “Please Don’t Stop the Music”. The day party continued with celebratory anthems such as “We Are The Champions”. Moreover, Donald Trump wasn’t present at the White House and instead heard the news come in from the official count while at his golfing club in Virginia. One Biden supporter among the crowds at the gates of the club held up a sign that read, “You’re fired”. Police cut off traffic from the streets near the State House in Boston, allowing celebrations to continue throughout the day.
