The current US President Joe Biden addressed Americans after Kamala Harris' defeat in the presidential election. Biden said that he congratulated Donald Trump on his victory and promised to transfer power peacefully, emphasizing that it is impossible to love a country only when you win, reports UNN.
For more than 200 years, America has been implementing a great experiment in self-government. People vote and choose their leaders, and they do so calmly. When it comes to democracy, the will of the people is always paramount. Yesterday I spoke with President Trump and congratulated him on his victory. I assured him that my administration will do everything to ensure a peaceful transfer of power. This is what Americans deserve
He noted that yesterday he also spoke with Kamala Harris.
“She is my partner who has run a great campaign. She has a strong character. She did her best to be proud of the campaign she ran. I know that for some people this is a time of victory, and for others it is a time of defeat. But this is a competition of ideas and the country chooses one or another idea. We accept the choice that the country has made. It is impossible to love a country only when you win,” Biden added.
According to him, a peaceful transfer of power in America will take place on January 20.
“This is a historic presidency. Not because I was president, but because of what we did, what you did. It was the presidency of all Americans. We are leaving behind the strongest economy in the world,” Biden emphasized.
