In the after-hours of Biden’s victory, thousands of people have taken to Twitter to congratulate the Democrat on his win.
Three former Democratic presidents, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and Barrack Obama including Former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, whose 2016 loss to Donald Trump have also congratulated Biden and Harris on their election victory.
Jimmy Carter, the 39th president, said in a statement Saturday that he and his wife, Rosalynn, are “proud” of the Democrats’ “well-run campaign and seeing the positive change they bring to our nation.”
Bill Clinton tweeted that “America has spoken and democracy has won.” The 42nd president also predicted Biden and Harris would “serve all of us and bring us all together.”
America has spoken and democracy has won. Now we have a President-Elect and Vice President-Elect who will serve all of us and bring us all together. Congratulations to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris on your momentous victory!
