Photos: Celebrations in City Streets After Biden Win

People in cities across the U.S. hit the streets to celebrate, honking horns, hugging, and gathering in squares.

Totally out of control.

I see these pictures and it is definitely concerning. I understand wanting to celebrate, but geesh, it’s bad out there.
