Leftists Gloat After Media Declares a Biden Victory: ‘Exceedingly Overjoyed’

Progressives flocked to social media to celebrate after mainstream media outlets declared Joe Biden (D) the victor of the 2020 presidential election.

Several media outlets, including CNN, MSNBC, and the Associated Press, declared Biden the winner of the election on Saturday, prompting a wave of celebration from leftists across social media despite the fact that the legal battle over the fundamental integrity of the election is just beginning.

“I am exceedingly overjoyed that Trump has been defeated & that the Biden-Harris team have an opportunity to undo the harm this undeserving Prez has caused the country,” Rep. Maxine Waters, a prolific Trump hater, (D-CA) exclaimed.

“My hope for the future is renewed! Looking forward to working w/ Biden-Harris team to move our country forward!” she added:

Donald Trump’s meritless, contradictory statements & legal filings will not succeed and they will not change the facts: when all the ballots are counted, Joe Biden will have won more votes than any Presidential candidate in history.

While leftists celebrate, President Trump, his campaign, and his allies have warned that nothing is settled and that the election is far from over.
“We all know why Joe Biden is rushing to falsely pose as the winner, and why his media allies are trying so hard to help him: they don’t want the truth to be exposed,” Trump wrote in a statement following the media declaring Biden the winner, promising that the election is “far from over.”
