Cody Temple and Morgan Linkhorst live in Venice and heard about the dance party on Instagram. They wanted to be there.

"I feel great," Temple told Patch. "I think everyone's happy. This isn't over yet, but it's a good start I hope the next four years is run by somebody who can actually make change for the better and not for worse."

They feel hopeful.

"We were like, 'let's go celebrate," Linkhorst told Patch. "Everybody has just been freaking out all day and everybody's so happy to finally get Trump out of office. We're all happy, we're all partying."

Linkhorst woke up to tons of texts from friends and family about the news on Saturday.

"It feels like a weight off your shoulders," she said. "It's crazy."
