Kamala Harris will be the first Black, Asian American and female vice-president of the US. Here’s the moment she found out.
Social media erupted as CNN called it after four agonising days of waiting. Anchor Van Jones was moved to tears live on air.
This is the best reaction yet.
As social media celebrates, these are some of the other brilliant reactions we’ve seen – from across the pond, to closer to home.
Many reported American cities erupted into celebration, including our man in New York City, HuffPost UK’s Graeme Demianyk.

Joe Biden, president-elect of the United States, was among the first to tweet, of course.
His granddaughter Naomi tweeted this.

There were many tear-jerking tweets as history was made.
From politicians old and new.
Journalists also shared some brilliant tweets.
