Biden assures peaceful transfer of power as House control remains uncertain

President Joe Biden addressed the nation for the first time since Donald Trump won the presidency, assuring a peaceful transfer of power. Control of the U.S. House remains uncertain, with many races still undecided after the election. Several Democratic incumbents, including Steven Horsford, Kim Schrier, and Donald Davis, secured reelection in tight races. Meanwhile, Republicans also gained ground, with victories for Scott Perry, Rob Bresnahan, and Ryan Mackenzie in competitive districts. Trump's election has prompted responses from global leaders, including congratulations from Russian President Vladimir Putin and a renewed focus on U.S.-Canada relations under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. The House majority remains closely contested, with final results expected in the coming days.
