It was a closely-run race between Biden, 77, and current President Donald Trump, with Biden winning enough electoral college seats when the state of Pennsylvania declared the Democrat candidate had won.
And Biden's granddaughter has posted the exact moment the news was announced to the family.
Taking to Twitter, law student Naomi Biden shared a photo of the entire family rallying around the President-Elect in a huge group hug.
