First was joy and excitement, then speculating about who could go in which Cabinet positions, then suddenly I was crying. Still am. So much happiness and relief and hope.

Biden's entire list of candidates was phenomenal and I would have been happy with any of them. Although, my signed book by Warren would be worth more but Harris is a tiger and trump probably shitting his Depends right now
