Fireworks and dancing in the streets of L.A. as Biden and Harris win
https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-11-07/fireworks-dancing-in-the-streets-of-l-a-as-biden-harris-winCalifornians rejoiced at the news Saturday that Joe Biden defeated Donald Trump to secure the presidency. In a history-making turn, Vice President-elect Kamala Harris became the first woman, the first Black person and the first Asian American to win the seat.
In the hills of Echo Park, people cheered and whistled from their homes, banged drums, honked their car horns and set off thundering fireworks. Similar scenes played out in Silver Lake and Glendale, with pot clanging and whoops echoing from balconies and windows.
In Koreatown, cheers broke out amid the quiet morning as people saw the news.
“Hey, Biden won! Woo, go Biden!” one woman yelled.
