For four long days, New York City has been waiting for confirmation that its least favorite son, Donald Trump, will be a one-term president. When the 2020 presidential race was finally called for Joe Biden midday on an unseasonably warm Saturday, the city erupted in celebration, with people honking car horns, banging pots and pans out of apartment windows, and flooding into the streets to celebrate the moment with fellow New Yorkers. Here’s how the city is marking the moment.
