Following Donald Trump’s victory over Vice President Kamala Harris in the race for the White House, President Joe Biden pledged a peaceful transition of power and urged Americans to embrace unity. Speaking from the White House Rose Garden, Biden emphasized the importance of respecting democratic outcomes and cooling tensions in the nation’s political climate.
“You can’t love your country only when you win. You can’t love your neighbor only when you agree. Something to hope we can do, no matter who you voted for, is see each other not as adversaries, but as fellow Americans. Bring down the temperature,” shared Biden in his recent address.
As the Biden-Harris administration prepare to hand over power, they are choosing to focus on a message of maintaining respect and mutual support among citizens in a time of intense polarization. The president’s remarks reflect a push for Americans to prioritize shared values and peaceful discourse amid the transition.
