Joe Biden was declared the President-Elect of 2020 on Saturday, November 7, after receiving the most votes for any candidate ever. The history-making win has also cemented Kamala Harris as America’s first female, first Black and first South Asian vice president-elect. As people all over the country danced and cheered in the streets, tinseltown lit up in its own way. In fact, so many celebrities celebrated the news that it seemed like a red carpet event.
Read on for all the A-list responses from Salma Hayek to Jennifer Aniston:
America Ferrera
The star activist celebrated with her husband and Ryan and their babies, writing:“For our babies and for yours! We did it y’all!! Live to fight another day! 4 years ago, @ryanpierswilliams and I sat shell-shocked and terrified for the lives that would be terrorized by 45. We were fortunate enough to get to channel that fear into building community and organizing toward a better day. Today is a better day. And there’s so much work ahead! May we never go back to sleep. Let’s keep organizing and fighting in community for who and what we love. I love you all.”
Salma Hayek
Eva Longoria
Our children were watching us as a country. To see what we would decide. Division and Hate or Unity and LOVE. We chose correctly. LOVE will always trump hate! Unity, let’s start healing as Americans! 🇺🇸
