Crowds in DC react as they watch Biden speak

Crowds gathered on Washington DC's 16th street on Saturday to celebrate the victory of President-elect Joe Biden. They watched Biden deliver his victory speech on their mobile phones, some using megaphones to amplify the sound. Confirmation came earlier in the day that Biden had defeated President Donald Trump to become the 46th president of the United States.

He won Pennsylvania on Saturday to exceed the 270 electoral votes needed to win the White House. Biden also carried Nevada, Arizona, Wisconsin and Michigan on his path to making Trump the first incumbent since George H.W. Bush to lose his bid for a second term. Trump has so far refused to concede defeat and is promising legal challenges.
