The United States President Joe Biden has asked Americans to accept the victory of Republican Party candidate Donald Trump in the presidential election.
On November 6, Trump
won the presidential election after exceeding the magic number of 270 electoral
college votes.
Trump defeated Kamala
Harris of the Democratic Party, who has 219 electoral college votes.
Harris has congratulated Trump on his electoral victory.
During a speech on
Thursday at the White House Rose Garden, Biden said, “We accept the choice the
country made.”
“I know for some
people, it’s time for victory to state the obvious. For others, it’s a time of
loss,” the US president said.
“Campaigns are contests
of competing visions. The country chooses one or the other.
“I’ve said many times,
you can’t love your country only when you win. You can’t love your neighbour
only when you agree.
“I will do my duty as
president. I’ll fulfil my oath and honour the Constitution. On January 20, we
will have a peaceful transfer of power here in America.
“Remember, defeat does
not mean we are defeated. We lost this battle. The America of your dream is
calling for you to get back up.
“The America experiment
endures. We are going to be okay, but we need to stay engaged. We need to keep
going. Above all, we need to keep the faith.”
