Biden calls for unity and peaceful transition after Trump's election victory
US President Joe Biden addressed the nation on November 7, following Donald Trump's significant election victory over Kamala Harris. Biden emphasized the need for unity and pledged a peaceful transition of power, stating that the election results should resolve doubts about election integrity. Biden, who dropped out of the race in July, congratulated Trump and assured him of an orderly transfer of power on January 20. This approach contrasts sharply with Trump's previous refusal to accept his 2020 defeat, which led to the January 6 Capitol riot. Trump is now forming his transition team and is expected to implement major changes to Biden's policies. His victory marks him as the first convicted felon and oldest person elected president, with plans to reverse Biden's initiatives on military aid and climate change.
