Capitol Hill woke to shouts, music, and fireworks as Seattle got the news Saturday.
Joe Biden has defeated Donald Trump to become the 46th President of the United States and Kamala Harris will become the nation’s the first female, first Black and first South Asian vice president-elect.
UPDATE: There’s a party in the “former CHOP”

CHS, of course, caled the race yesterday along with information about Saturday’s planned Protect Every Person rally at Westlake.
CHS found a few small celebrations in the streets Saturday morning. With dance parties breaking out across the country, expect some socially distanced partying around the Hill through the day and night.
Have fun and be safe.
