President Biden addressed the nation on Thursday about Donald Trump’s landslide win over Democratic Party opponent Vice President Kamala Harris. Biden pledged to work with the Trump team to ensure a smooth transition and invited the former President for an Oval Office meeting.
“That’s what the American people deserve,” Biden said.
He also praised Harris for running “an inspiring campaign,” and said she has “great character” and “backbone like a ramrod.”
“A country chooses one [candidate] or the other. We accept the choice the country made. I’ve said many times, you can’t love your country only when you win. You can’t love your neighbor only when you agree. Something I hope we can do, no matter who you voted for, you see each other not as adversaries, but as fellow Americans.”
The president also said he hopes the 2024 election will “lay to rest the question about the integrity of the American electoral system.”
“It is honest, it is fair, and it is transparent and it can be trusted. Win or lose.”
