President Joe Biden encouraged Americans to “accept the choice the country made” as he addressed the nation Thursday.
Biden took to the podium in the Rose Garden after President-elect Donald Trump won a decisive victory over Vice President Kamala Harris in the race for the White House.
Watch the video below:
“We accept the choice the country made,” he said, per NBC News. “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.”
Biden also assured the country there will be a peaceful transition of power, something that did not happen four years ago when Trump attempted to have the 2020 election results overturned.
“I will do my duty as president: I will fulfill my oath and I will honor the Constitution. On Jan. 20, we’ll have a peaceful transfer of power here in America,” Biden said.
