Joe Biden Win Gets Standing Ovation From Hollywood

As ought to come as no shock, the Hollywood trade is over the moon over Joe Biden profitable the 2020 presidential election — even when we needed to wait just a few additional days to seek out out.

Reactions started pouring in instantly after Pennsylvania, the state by which Biden was born, was known as on Saturday morning in favor of Barack Obama’s former vice chairman. They had been virtually overwhelmingly optimistic.

“The people have spoken!” Kerry Washington tweeted. “Thank you to everyone who used your vote and your voice to make history. PRESIDENT Joe Biden and VICE PRESIDENT Kamala Harris.”

Edward Norton wrote, “I’m actually a little bit shaky with relief. Nothing has made me feel sustained anxiety & dismay for this long other than loved ones being seriously ill. That’s how this felt, except the sick loved one was America & I feel like we just got the news that she’s going to recover.”

See these and others on the backside of this story.

While Election Night was technically Tuesday, the race for the very best workplace in America was too near name. As a matter of reality, on the time, the trail appeared to favor incumbent Republican president Donald Trump. But then the mail-in ballots started to be counted in lots of key states, and most of these votes went to the Democratic challenger.

As the counts continued in key states like George and Pennsylvania, a brand new story started to emerge — one which confirmed Biden had the very best trajectory to 270 electoral school votes. That’s when Hollywood’s collective melancholy shifted to optimism — and now, celebration. Once Biden received Pennsylvania’s 20 electoral votes, his complete of 273 was sufficient to lastly finish the madness.

For his half, President Trump has blamed Biden’s late surge on “fraud.” That declare has not been substantiated.
