Democratic President Joe Biden delivered his first public remarks since Republican former president Donald Trump’s win in the 2024 election. He said he spoke to the president-elect and assured a peaceful transfer of power, echoing Vice President Kamala Harris’s words.
He also praised VP Harris for her strong character and “inspiring” campaign.
Accepting the election results, Biden urged Americans to see one another as fellow citizens, not adversaries. He also highlighted the integrity of the American electoral system, hoping to dispel doubts fueled by misinformation about past elections.
