After an exhausting week, in which half the nation seemed to be working out the muscles in their mouse-clicking finger in the endless quest for new numbers, Saturday was a glorious day.
In just a few minutes, Kamala Harris and Joe Biden are finally going to get to deliver the victory speeches they’ve been keeping on ice since Tuesday night. It’s hard to express how great this night feels. It’s unlike the satisfaction of just winning an election. This feels more like the energy of VE Day combined with dancing down the Berlin Wall. A confirmation of humanity. A promise that America not only can be better, it is better than what we’ve seen over the last four year.
It was a good, good day. And now it’s going to be a good night. Until now, half the nation is going to be watching not Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, the candidates of the opposing party. But their president-elect and vice president-elect. It’s going to be fantastic.
So come on in and continue the party in the comments.
Harris’ motorcade has reached the Chase Center and is being greeted with loud cheers and honking horns. Biden should be arriving soon.
Kamala Harris ticks off so many “firsts” that she’s her own Top Ten List of Firsts. But while we’re waiting for the speeches to begin, there is one more member of the incoming White House family that hasn’t gotten all that much attention, but is probably about to become pretty familiar, and dear, to a lot of Americans.
