Music can be heard in Times Square: from “We are the Champions” to “Hallelujah” to “Hit the Road, Trump” everything is sung in New York. And the post that transported the postal votes is celebrated. New York is literally over the moon! It’s only quiet around Trump Tower. The police have cordoned off the area around the former residence of the incumbent president, who has since moved to Florida and spends the days of the vote counting in Washington. Since Trump’s election victory in 2016, there had been repeated protests here, and demonstrators had often shouted “New York hates you”. The area has now been temporarily declared a “frozen zone”, says a police officer. Nobody is let in. All around this “frozen zone”, of all places, Trump’s native city celebrates his election defeat in a particularly frenetic manner. After the news channel CNN declared the Democratic challenger Joe Biden the winner of the US presidential election on Saturday, cheers broke out after just a few seconds. People clapped, screamed and cheered on the streets and from the windows of their apartments.

Cyclists rang the bell, drivers honked their horns. A little later, thousands of people are drawn to the streets of the metropolis with posters, US flags, champagne bottles, flowers and musical instruments, for a party that doesn’t want to stop for many, many hours and puts all of New York in the mood for a festival. “Those were four dark years for us Americans and that’s why we’re here now to celebrate this victory that we achieved together,” says TJ Newton, who is on the road with a few friends. “Today, that means freedom for all Americans. And having Kamala Harris as the first black woman as vice president is a huge step that means a lot to many people in this country.” At an intersection on the Upper West Side in Manhattan, a young woman in a vuvuzela trumps and waves an American flag. The passing cars, taxis and trucks honk their horns, many drivers put a hand out the window, wave or shape the peace sign with their fingers. Babies clap in their strollers, dogs wear buttons that read “Biden / Harris”. People have stickers that say “Trump / Pence Out”. “The party for Biden is amazing,” yells a man into his cell phone. A group of women get a bottle of champagne and plastic glasses from a kiosk and toast with cheers. “No more Trump,” yells a man driving past on a bicycle.

“Shut down temperature” Biden asks for a chance

The result of the US election was around five days long in coming, and to the growing impatience of many people, votes were counted and even more votes were counted – but then the announcement of the victory of Biden and his Vice President Kamala Harris for New York came at exactly the right time : Saturday lunchtime, bright sunshine and temperatures of more than 25 degrees. In the pandemic-plagued metropolis on the US east coast, which is largely liberal and democratic, and where, according to initial counts, Biden has won the majority of the votes, there is no stopping it. Joy and relief break all dams. “I just had to go out and celebrate,” cheers a woman – and people cheer back over lunch in the open air in a restaurant. A man with a “Biden / Harris” T-shirt carries a bagpipe, a little boy plays the trumpet and receives enthusiastic applause. “The votes of the voters determine the winner,” reads many people’s posters.
