Biden to address nation after Trump's election victory and promises peaceful transition
President Biden will address the nation on Thursday after Donald Trump's victory in the 2024 election. This marks the first time since 1968 that a sitting president eligible for reelection did not appear on the ballot. Trump won with a projected 312 Electoral College votes compared to 226 for Vice President Kamala Harris. He also leads in the popular vote, a rare occurrence for Republicans in recent elections. Biden congratulated Trump and invited him to the White House for a peaceful transfer of power. He praised Harris as a strong partner and endorsed her for the Democratic nomination after his withdrawal from the race.
