US President-elect Joe Biden
promised Saturday to unite Americans and seek to heal divisions after what he
called a “convincing” victory over Donald Trump.
“This is the time to heal in
America,” an ebullient Biden told supporters at an outdoor rally in his home
city of Wilmington, Delaware.
“I pledge to be a president who
seeks not to divide but unify,” Biden said, drawing a sharp contrast to nearly
four polarizing years of Trump.
Acknowledging the disappointment
of Trump supporters, Biden said of them: “They are not our enemies. They are
Americans.”
“Let this era of demonization in
America begin to end here,” Biden said.
“I sought this office to restore
the soul of America, to rebuild the backbone of this nation, the middle class,
and to make America respected around the world again,” Biden said.
Barack Obama’s vice president
paid particular tribute to the African-American community, pointing to its role
in selecting him as the Democratic nominee to challenge Trump.
Biden was visibly upbeat as he
addressed the socially distanced crowd, racing to the podium after an
introduction by Vice President-elect Kamala Harris to the sounds of Bruce
Springsteen’s “We Take Care of Our Own.”
“Folks, the people of this nation
have spoken. They’ve delivered us a clear victory, a convincing victory,” Biden
said.
