Joe Biden will be the next president of the United States. The Associated Press announced Biden’s victory at 11:28 a.m. ET on Saturday (minutes after the major networks but 12 minutes before Fox News). The soccer world immediately began reacting to the news across social media.
Here is a small sampling of how the soccer world was reacting to president-elect Joe Biden and vice president-elect Kamala Harris, who became the first woman and first person of color to become vice president.
