Thousands flood SF streets after Biden victory

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. (KRON) - Thousands of excited people are celebrating the victory of Biden and Harris across the Bay Area Saturday.

The celebrations started after the Associated Press reported that Democrat Joe Biden surpassed the necessary 270 electoral votes to become the U.S. President-elect.

"Proud to be an American," San Franciscans flooded the streets of the Castro District.
