“I will fulfill my duties as president,” Biden said, promising a peaceful transfer of power on January 20.
Biden mentioned in his speech, it was a historic presidency. We are leaving the strongest economy in the world.
Biden also said, we have 74 days left until the end of our term. Make every day count.
Backsliding may be inevitable, he says, but giving up is inexcusable. Everyone has to crash sometimes. But our character is measured by how we get back up. We have lost this war, but it is America that is calling you, stand up again.
Biden said that for more than 200 years, the United States has been giving the highest test of democratic governance. Where the people choose their leaders by voting and doing so peacefully. The will of the people always prevails here.
He said he spoke to President-elect Donald Trump and congratulated him on his victory. He also assured to help for the transfer of power.
He said he also spoke to Kamla Harris and praised Kamla's campaign as an inspiration.
Biden said, victory is a time of joy for some, and a time of pain for others. A country chooses a side. We respect the country's decision. You can't love the country only if you win. There is no rule that you have to agree to love your neighbor.
He said, election is a competition. The results are different for winners and losers. This time the Democrats have been defeated. Democrats remain committed to a peaceful transition of power.
