People in Midtown Manhattan are cheering on the sidewalks, leaning out their windows and rushing to their rooftops to cheer and bang pots and pans, like they did in March during the 7 pm cheer. @JoeBiden has defeated @realDonaldTrump.
Someone sent me this video from Crown Heights, Brooklyn. Celebrations over the defeat of @realDonaldTrump are breaking out all over New York City. @JoeBiden will be the next President of the United States.
I have heard several people in Hell’s Kitchen shout “Ding dong, the witch is dead!”

After days of wintry cold the weather is spring-like and almost 70 degrees in NYC today. Waves of cheers crash through the crowd in Times Square again and again as people celebrate the election of @JoeBiden and the defeat of @realDonaldTrump
A large protest march just came down from Columbus Circle to join thousands of people celebrating @JoeBiden’s win in Times Square. And because it’s Times Square they had to pass a man wearing a truly enormous panda costume.
There are lines of cars driving through Midtown Manhattan to celebrate the election of @JoeBiden and the defeat of @realDonaldTrump. Reminiscent of the Trump campaign’s “car parades.”
People still arriving in Times Square, where the celebrations continue over the election of @JoeBiden and the defeat of @realDonaldTrump. This could be a street party that lasts all night.
This is very much the vibe in Times Square right now
It is almost 10 o’clock at night and there are still thousands of people celebrating the victory of @JoeBiden and the defeat of @realDonaldTrump in Times Square. There may be even more people here than there were earlier this afternoon.

President @realDonaldTrump says the election is not over, but the rest of the world is moving on. America’s most important ally has sent its congratulations to @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris
Boris Johnson has also been an ideological ally of sorts to @realDonaldTrump, who called himself “Mr. Brexit” during the 2016 campaign. Boris is one of the rare world leaders who has enjoyed a consistently positive relationship with Trump.
The Chancellor of Germany, another of America’s most important allies, has also congratulated @JoeBiden on his election as President of the United States. @realDonaldTrump has not conceded.
The divide between news broadcasts and opinion shows on Fox News may never have been as stark as it is tonight
Hannity just did a segment on how “the state of Arizona should never have been called by anybody.” (Fox News and AP called Arizona for Biden, other news organizations including NYT have not.)
Lindsey Graham echoes Trump on Hannity: “mainstream media polls were designed to suppress Republican votes.”
Graham says he is donating to Trump’s “legal defense fund” and he urges Hannity’s viewers to donate too.”
A big crowd has gathered outside the New York Public Library on 5th Avenue in Manhattan to demand that every vote cast in the 2020 presidential election be counted.
This man brought his goose to the “count every vote” protest. I love New York City.
A march to demand that every vote cast in the 2020 presidential election be counted is now heading down 5th Ave toward Washington Square Park
A crowd of what looks like several hundred protesters are marching on the Upper West Side, more than a. Hour after curfew. Police are following along. This is at 61st and West End Avenue.
This crowd is in the thousands of people, all marching south on 10th Avenue into Hell’s Kitchen more than an hour into curfew. Local residents are leaning out their apartment windows banging pots and pans in support of the marchers. #nycprotests
Almost every apartment on this block of 10th Avenue in Hell’s Kitchen has residents sitting on their fire escapes or leaning out their windows to cheer for the protesters #nycprotests#curfew
A large group of protesters is marching from Union Square down 14th Street in Manhattan
Some young men just tried to loot an Aldo on 5th Ave when other protesters grabbed them, pulled one guy out the store window, and made them stop. An argument about looting then ensued. #NYCProtest#GeorgeFloyd
The Nike store on the corner of 20th Street and 5th Avenue was just looted by protesters. #NYCProtest#GeorgeFloyd
