President Joe Biden called for unity in U.S. politics after Donald Trump's election victory over Kamala Harris. In a speech, he urged Americans to see each other as fellow citizens and promised a smooth transition of power. Democrats are now blaming Biden for the loss, with some suggesting his candidacy hurt the party's chances. Critics argue that Harris's campaign lacked legitimacy and that the party misjudged voter sentiment. Biden's comments followed his congratulatory call to Trump.
