In countries across the globe, people reported fireworks, cheering and the sound of church bells ringing after President-elect Joe Biden was named the winner of the 2020 presidential election.
Locals in the United Kingdom, where many had leftover fireworks from Guy Fawkes Night this week, reported fireworks going off in London. There were videos of church bells ringing in Paris and fireworks in Edinburgh, Scotland, and reports of celebrations in Germany.

Fireworks in London. This isn’t a US celebration, it’s a worldwide one. Let the healing begin.

A friend in Munich tells me the church bells just started ringing across the city. This is a win not just for America, but for the world.

I would imagine the free world is breathing a sigh of relief. Trump spent four years disrespecting and ignoring them, while embracing the likes of Putin and Kim. The world was a dangerous place throughout the Trump presidency. Now it feels safe again.
