As news of Donald Trump’s victory broke, his supporters flooded the streets, waving American flags and wearing “Make America Great Again” caps.
With honking cars and cheering crowds, their excitement filled the night, celebrating the moment they’d long awaited.
Trump on Wednesday won the US presidential election, defeating Kamala Harris in a stunning political comeback.
