Saturday morning, CBS News, FOX News and the Associated Press projected former Vice President Joe Biden to win the 2020 Presidential Election. Pennsylvania was called for him, reportedly pushing him over the 270 electoral vote threshold. The result is currently a projection considering that there are still ballots being counted, but the news sparked many reactions on social media.

When Biden's supporters heard the news, they headed to Twitter to express excitement about the election's projected outcome. They proclaimed that they were ecstatic about the result and said that there was "hope for a brighter future." Others simply said that the news came at the perfect time. They cited the overall length of the process and said that the election had become tiresome.

​

Saturday marked a big day for fans of both video games and politics. Outlets projected Biden to win the election and end Donald Trump's tenure in the Oval Office after only one term. It was also N7 day, and video game developer Bioware celebrated with a reveal of a remaster of the Mass Effect trilogy for current and next-gen consoles alike. For many people on Twitter, this news meant that Saturday was close to perfect.
