World News

 

A sampling of the world's press in reporting the Biden presidential election victory and bidding his predecessor farewell: There was “God Bless America” (People, UK), “Exit without dignity” (Bild, Germany), “It’s Joe” (The Observer, UK), “What a liberation, what a relief” (Suddeutsche Zeitung, Germany), “Joe Biden vinner” (Svenska Dagbladet, Sweden), “Sleepy Joe wakes up America” (Sunday Times), etc. 

 

And then there was the Ayrshire Daily News in Scotland, near the Trump Turnberry golf course: “South Ayrshire golf club owner loses 2020 presidential election.” 

 

—Agence France Press, “‘God Bless America’: how the world’s newspapers reported Biden’s win,” The Guardian, Oct. 7, 2020.

 

 

• Editorial Comment: All news is local.

 

• Also: “Here's how newspapers around the world reported Biden's win,” Axios. “‘It’s Joe!’ How newspapers around the world reported President-elect Biden’s victory,” CNBC. “’Sleepy Joe wakes up America': Newspapers around the world react to Trump’s defeat,” Daily Mail.
