Drag queens react: Biden and Harris win 2020 election

This year's election will go down as one of the most historic and crucial elections in our lifetimes. Despite a year rocked by an ongoing global pandemic, voter turn-out was at an all-time high. Some attribute this wave of ballot-holders to the constant celebrity encouragement to vote in this year's election.

Drag queens also used their platforms to promote voter registration turnout, urging their fan-base to vote like their lives depended on it.

Organizations like Drag Out the Vote helped actively register voters among the LGBTQ+ community.

But, on November 7, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were given the win in the 2020 election. This historic race resulted in the first woman and first minority vice president in the country's history.

From Los Angeles to New York, cities across the country stopped to celebrate the results with impromptu parades and street festivities. Gatherers even popped bottles of champagne into the air to commemorate the winners.
