Washington, USA – In a call for serenity, U.S. President Joe Biden appealed to Americans to “dial down the heat,” following Donald Trump’s recent landslide victory in the presidential election, a result paving his way back to the Oval Office.
From the familiar grounds of the Rose Garden, Biden spoke about the whirlwind of emotions elections stir up, where joy and heartbreak dance side by side. “I’ve often said, love for one’s country isn’t reserved for just the victorious, and compassion for your neighbor shouldn’t hinge on agreements,” Biden expressed, urging for unity and calmness amidst the nation’s diverse reactions.
Biden conveyed that he had conversed with Trump, stressing the significance of a seamless and peaceful power shift. “The people have cast their votes and picked their leaders peacefully,” he declared, heralding it as a cornerstone of U.S. democracy. “The collective voice of the citizenry overshadows any personal dreams,” he added.
Reaffirming his faith in America’s election systems, Biden lauded them as just, open, and dependable. “Win or lose, elections are something we can trust,” he insisted, urging folks to honor the results and stay confident in democratic norms.
Echoing Biden’s sentiments, Vice President Kamala Harris reached out to Donald Trump to extend her congratulations, having acknowledged the election’s verdict. Addressing her supporters in Washington, DC, she shared her pride in their efforts yet emphasized the importance of embracing the decision of the people.
In securing victories across pivotal battlegrounds like North Carolina, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin, former President Trump surpassed the magic number of 270 Electoral College votes. Rumors are afoot that Trump is also in the driver’s seat in Arizona and Nevada, with NBC News, a Sky News affiliate, hinting he might clinch all key swing states.
Since his triumphant announcement in Florida, the 78-year-old President-elect has mostly stepped out of the spotlight, relishing the momentous occasion with his backers.
