Driving through the nation’s capital now is like chasing a rising wave of cheers. As people find out all over DC, you can hear whistles, honks, fireworks. People standing on porches, sharing the news with their neighbors. I just passed a woman on a bike who shouted, “it’s over!”
A man standing along a busy road in Shaw is raising a glass of red wine as honking cars drive by him. “We won!” he’s shouting. #DC
In case you’re not sure what the mood in DC is right now, I’ll let this kindergarten teacher spell it out for y’all: – bei The Hay-Adams
Bottles are poppin all over Black Lives Matter Plaza. Flags waving, people chanting everything from, “USA!” to “Stacey Abrams!”

One Georgia voter out here told me that “ @staceyabrams is a hero of the revolution.” #DC – bei The White House
A song from the people of #DC to President Trump: “You about to lose your job!”
The news has been spreading old school today! One longtime protester down here said she only knew when the crowds began to arrive. https://twitter.com/danacmueller/status/1325146233535598592
Some fireworks accidentally shot into the crowd by this group, which has taken their celebration to the top of this bus stop at 16th and Eye. They’re shotgunning beers and leading a “whose house? Our house” chant. Very we-just-won-the-World-Series vibe.
I have seen several pro-USPS signs downtown, thanking mail carriers. #DC https://twitter.com/martinepowers/status/1325147854504157185
Gen-Xers out here celebrating another Kamala Harris first: First Gen Xer to be elected vice president.

“We’re a generation that has always wanted to make a difference. I’m proud Kamala will get that chance.” #DCprotest #Election2020

Trump wasn’t there to hear all the pro-Biden reveling outside the White House this morning. But he’s back now. And the party is still going strong. https://twitter.com/mjcontrera/status/1325172147988402176
On the east side of the White House, I watched as a vendor cleared out the MAGA hats on display and replaced them with more neutral USA ones.

“These aren’t selling today,” he told me, waving a red Trump 2020 cap. #DC
