It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia…

Joe Biden has taken the lead in Pennsylvania. If he wins the state, he will have more than 270 electoral college votes and become president-elect.

Donald Trump’s campaign are calling foul play in whichever way they can, but the writing is on the wall: Biden is winning.

Pennsylvania is a hugely important state in this election, carrying 20 votes. Previously republican, it appears to be flipping blue this afternoon in the most significant moment of the race.

The people of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania are celebrating, and who can blame them?

A video, tweeted by Philly Inquirer reporter Ellie Rushing, shows residents of West Philadelphia chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool, and throwing some shapes to I’m Coming Out by Diana Ross.

In such horrible times, it is enough to set off the waterworks.

Brooke O’Hara, who hosted the party, told Rushing: “It just felt really symbolic that the Philly drop put Biden over.”
