Joe Biden has been elected the 46th President of the United States and is yet another with strong Irish roots.
The former Vice-President visited Carlingford, Co Louth in 2016 labelling the country "heaven".
And the soon to be President is extremely proud of his Irish roots - but what exactly are they?
Here's a look at Biden's ancestry that has many Irish people gleaming this morning;
What are Joe Biden's Irish roots?
Biden’s great-grandfather, James Finnegan, emigrated from County Louth as a child all the way back in 1850.
And all eight of his great-great-grandparents on his mother’s side was born in Ireland.
On the other side, his father’s, two great-grandparents were also born in Ireland.
His Irish roots in his own words
Before his 2016 visit, Joe Biden said in a letter: "I’ve been honored to have held a lot of titles. But I have always been and will always be the son of Kitty Finnegan.
"The grandson of Geraldine Finnegan from St. Paul’s Parish in Scranton; a proud descendant of the Finnegans of Ireland’s County Louth.
"The great-grandson of a man named Edward Francis Blewitt, whose roots stem from Ballina, a small town in Ireland’s County Mayo – sister city to my hometown in Scranton, Pennsylvania. An engineer with a poet’s heart. Months after my mother passed away, I found an old box of his poems in my attic.
"In his poetry, my great-grandfather spoke of both continents, and how his heart and his soul drew from the old and the new. And most of all, he was proud. He was proud of his ancestors. He was proud of his blood. He was proud of his city. He was proud of his state, his country. But most of all – he was proud of his family."
Biden's Irish cousins celebrate
Cousin Joe Blewitt, who travelled to the White House in 2017 to meet the then vice president, said: “Everyone is very excited here at the moment.
“Everyone’s very excited... and you can see from the crowd that’s here there is a great buzz around.
“So, finally, Joe Biden will be the US President.”
