Kamala Harris's Reaction to Joe Biden Winning the Presidency Is Perfect
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are celebrating their historic win today, which saw Harris becoming the first ever woman elected as Vice President of the United States.
After receiving the incredible news, Harris appears to have immediately called the president-elect, and the VP shared footage of their phone call on Twitter.
In the clip, Harris says, "We did it. We did it, Joe. You're going to be the next President of the United States." While we can't hear Biden's side of the conversation, he's sure to be as elated with the news as Harris is.
Biden's win was announced four days after the election, on account of the voluminous numbers of voters opting for mail-in ballots this year. Patience prevailed, with Biden and Harris securing victory after the electoral college vote jumped to 284, thanks to a major boost in Pennsylvania.
Biden urged patience throughout the process. "It is the will of the voters, no one else, that chooses the president of the United States of America," Biden said on Wednesday, according to PBS. "I ask all people to stay calm, the process is working, the count is being completed and we’ll know very soon."
Along with sharing her phone call to Biden, Harris celebrated the victory by tweeting, "This election is about so much more than @JoeBiden or me. It’s about the soul of America and our willingness to fight for it. We have a lot of work ahead of us. Let’s get started."

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris Are Officially Projected As Winners of the U.S. Presidential Election
We have an official projection. After four days post-Election Day 2020, former Vice President Joe Biden and Senator Kamala Harris are being projected by both The New York Times and the Associated Press as president and vice president-elect of the United States. It's a historic win for the country; Harris was the first Black woman and Asian American on any major party ticket for a presidential election, and now, she will be the first Black woman and Asian American to serve as vice president.
News first broke of the possible projected win for Biden the morning of Friday, November 6th, when it was stated by The New York Times that Biden had taken the lead and flipped two key states, Georgia and Pennsylvania, which are two states that President Trump won during the 2016 election. This was another victorious win for Democratics after days of patiently waiting for mail-in ballots to be counted for them and other key states, such as Nevada, Arizona, North Carolina, Alaska, and flipping swing states, Wisconsin and Michigan just a few days prior.
Several celebrities and activists took to social media to celebrate the historic moment for Harris and President-Elect Biden.
From here, current president Donald Trump enters the "lame duck" period of his term until Biden and Harris take office in the White House. The inaguration ceremony is scheduled for January 20th, 2021.
