President Joe Biden pledged a peaceful transition to President-elect Donald Trump. Biden spoke to the country Thursday, Nov. 7, the day after Vice President Kamala Harris conceded the election.
“Yesterday, I spoke with President-elect Trump to congratulate him on his victory, and I assured him that I’d direct my entire administration to work with his team to ensure a peaceful and orderly transition,” Biden said. “That’s what the American people deserve.”
The president also acknowledged there are different feelings about the results, but said it’s important to accept the choice.
“You can’t love your country only when you win, you can’t love your neighbor only when you agree,” Biden added. “Something I think you can do no matter who you voted for is see each other not as adversaries but as fellow Americans.”
Biden praised Harris for her campaign, saying he respects her character.
He also emphasized the impact of his administration and said there’s still work to be done in his last 10 weeks before he leaves office.
Some of the work includes providing more aid to Ukraine and passing a final government spending bill.
