The same. Moment of hope. Brings opportunity for a lot of work.
The international reaction to VP Biden’s victory has been electric. Bells ringing in Paris, quick and heartfelt congratulations from world leaders. My inbox has exploded with emails from friends around the world who believe they too had a stake in this election. Time of hope.

I think they were as worried as we were. It’s a win for humanity and decency.

I've been seeing reactions from all over. It is a huge sigh of relief. I have been panicked deeply about how the rest of the world viewed us and how much trust was lost. I don't think we would've come out ok after 8 years. For sure a win - in so many ways.

“Don't they understand? This is our election. The world's election. Our future depends on it, and we live it as intensely as Americans do. All we lack is the vote. The world may not have a vote, but it has a candidate…" Timothy Garton Ash, "The World's Election" (2008)

It should take years, possibly decades, to heal the division. As Egon Bahr of West Germany has written in 1963 on the divided Germany, the reunification is not an event but a historical process. But this is the first step we, both the Americans and those around the world, need.
