The historic moment is finally here Joe Biden will be the next president of the United States and, just as significantly, Donald Trump will not .
Kamala Harris will be the first Black, Asian American and female vice-president of the US . Heres the moment she found out.
Australian politicians and celebrities, and people on social media across the world reacted to the news with congratulatory messages and GIFs of excitement.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison said he looked forward to forging a great partnership with Biden.
I join with other nations leaders around the world in congratulating President-elect Biden and Dr Jill Biden together with Vice President-elect Kamala Harris and her partner Douglas Hough for their election at this recent US election, Morison told media on Sunday morning.
This is a profound time, not just for the United States, but for our partnership and the world more broadly. And I look forward to forging a great partnership in the spirit of the relationships that have always existed between Prime Ministers of Australia and Presidents of the United States.
