Democrat Barack Obama was elected as the first black president of the United States of America on Tuesday night.
The 47-year-old senator from Illinois defeated Republican Sen. John McCain. Officials said voters came out in record numbers on Election Day — 130 to 140 million people.
The crowd is going wild in Grant Park in Chicago, where Obama will give his first public speech as president-elect.
Obama will be sworn in as the 44th President on January 20, 2009.
