Celebrities emotional reactions to the Biden Harris historic win

Celebrities have expressed joy and gratitude as the news of Joe Biden’s successful run for the White House was confirmed.

But Jennifer Lawrence may have taken the prize for the most wild celebration, as she ran through the streets of Boston, headbanging in her PJs.

She has been a vocal critic of Donald Trump over the years despite growing up in a Republican household.

However, the 30-year-old Oscar winner still opened up about how Trump’s election “changed everything.”

“This is an impeached president whose broken many laws and has refused to condemn white supremacy, and it feels like there has been a line drawn in the sand,” she said in a recent interview. “I don’t want to support a president who supports white supremacists.”

Model Chrissy Teigen, who Trump once described as musician John Legend’s “filthy-mouthed wife” tweeted of hearing the news: “My god it feels like I just took off a weighted blanket, unhooked my bra and taken out my extensions all at once”.

Comedian Rosie O’Donnell, who was also embroiled in a feud with Mr Trump, tweeted: “bye don you creepy con”.

Singer Cher, another celebrity who has been insulted by Mr Trump, said she had been jumping on her bed crying. She later followed up with a tweet saying she wouldn’t post horrible pictures and cartoons of Mr Trump out of respect for Mr Biden.

Rosie O’Donnell’s response was short but not sweet.

Cher celebrated but said she wouldn’t post “horrible photos and cartoons” of Mr Trump out of respect for Joe.

Sacha Baron Cohen wasn’t so soft in his approach, sharing a barb that referenced a pre-election sledge he’d made about Trump’s future job prospects.

“Donald—you’re out of work and I know I offered you a job,” the Borat star tweeted.

“But your performance this past week was tragic and sad. Offer rescinded.”

Cohen posted in October: “I’m always looking for people to play racist buffoons, and you’ll need a job after Jan. 20. Let’s talk!”

Music megastar Lizzo posted a flurry of updates including a video of her sobbing with joy.

She followed up with a hilarious farewell to Trump, yelling “BYE BITCH” from the back of a jet ski before speeding off.

Singer Sam Smith didn’t hold back either, sharing a photo of Trump’s face on Instagram and calling him a “snail”.

“Off ya pop you absolute snail,” the British singer captioned the photo.

“So happy for all my friends in America tonight!! YOU. DID. THAT.”

Kim Kardashian-West has also tweeted in celebration of Joe Biden’s win, seemingly answering the question of whether or not she voted for her husband in the US election.

Meanwhile, sister Khloe was a little more outspoken, writing: “OMG I want to cry tears of joy!!!! Bravo!!!” with several hand-clapping emojis.

And Kourtney Kardashian – who courted controversy when she encouraged fans to vote for Kanye – also celebrated the Biden-Harris win.

Among the joyous posts from stars celebrating the Biden-Harris win, there have been a sprinkling of salty reactions from famous Trump supporters.

Scott Baio and Kirstie Alley in particular have supported Trump’s ‘voter fraud’ claims.
