Election week 2020 had the world holding its collective breath waiting for the final news. As the poll results took time to be updated due to unique voting circumstances this year, such as more mail-in ballots being processed, many people experienced election anxiety. But the minute Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were announced the winners, many Americans breathed a sigh of relief and took to the streets to celebrate (via NBC News).
So far, President-elect Biden and Vice president-elect Harris have made it a point to stress that unity will be their theme and MO over the next four years and beyond. In a time where racism is alive and well today, this message of togetherness is incredibly important. For years, marginalized groups have had many of their civil rights threatened or stripped away. Now more than ever, work needs to be done so that every single person in America feels safe, valued, and seen, regardless of race, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, social class, and so on. Ignoring these social issues will not make them disappear, and will only fan the flames. CNN anchor and journalist Don Lemon reacted to the Biden-Harris win on live TV, and what he had to say caused a stir for all of the right reasons.
