The American elections are over. Joe Biden enjoyed the victory over Donald Trump. Next to the elections that Trump won in 2016, these elections will probably go down in history as the most exciting American elections to date. The Netherlands also fully participated in these #USElections. In the middle of the night, there was a lot of tweeting, blogging and publishing. I dove into the data to list the most striking facts for you.
The past 4 years Trump has kept the world in his grip . No wonder that all eyes are on America during special lead these elections. Will Trump continue for another 4 years as president of the most powerful country in the world? Or will his opponent, the democrat Joe Biden, win? One thing is certain: America has chosen the democrat Joe Biden. These elections have ensured the highest turnout since 1900.

During election night, the Netherlands was also very active online and on social media. In addition to news platforms that report all night long, the Dutch Twitter community was also very active. With approximately 3,000 messages per hour, the elections, Donald Trump and Joe Biden were discussed from midnight onwards. The biggest peak occurred on 4 November between 07:00 and 09:00, when sleeping Dutch people also woke up.
