A Brit’s take on Election Day? Americans are on another level.

Us British think our politics can be a bit mad at times. But we have nothing on the Americans.

I’m from London and spent election night in D.C. as a political tourist chatting to the people I found as the results came in. It was an eye-opening experience.

Donald Trump and Kamala Harris superfans who traveled across the nation to be in D.C. for election night? The sweating watch parties with political-themed cocktails and characters? The boarding up of businesses to protect against damage amid fears of violent disorder?

Sure, we had Brexit, Boris Johnson and Liz Truss vs. the lettuce back in London. But you guys are on a whole other level to us.

The verdict from a Brit? You guys are wild. Watch the video by my colleague Krystal Campos to see how I spent Election Night in D.C.
