Yesterday evening it was announced that, after several days of counting, a decision had been made and Joe Biden would become the 46th president of the United States of America.
Already having claimed the new President-Elect as their own, Irish people have joined in on the celebrations since word first broke with locals down in Co Mayo - his great-great-great grandfather's homestead - amongst those most overjoyed by the news.
Cheering on his victory from all the way across the water, bottles of bubbly were popped and many a smile could be seen across the county as people toasted to Mr Biden's success.

A number of well-known Irish faces congratulated President Biden on the historic win, including Chris O'Dowd, who - in true Irish fashion - described it as a "great day for the parish".

Both the Taoiseach and the Tanáiste have also passed on kind words with Michéal Martin saying that the Pennsylvania man has been "a true friend of this nation throughout his life".

Even Jedward had their say, summing things up with possibly one of their best tweets to date.
