On Friday morning, voters out of Philadelphia gave Joe Biden the lead in the state of Pennsylvania.
And there it is: Biden takes the lead in PA by 5,587 votes w/ latest count out of Philadelphia.
The people of Philadelphia were pretty excited about it, as evidenced by their reactions.

All across the internet, people both from Philly and not from Philly celebrated the city's unique culture and how it pulled Biden into the lead.
One of the most popular memes, unsurprisingly, featured Philly/American icon and hero, Gritty.
