In Speech, President Biden Assures Peaceful Transition of Power to Second Trump Administration

As a gamer who has witnessed the tumultuous political landscape of America unfold over countless hours in strategy games, I must admit, it feels like a new level unlocked. The election cycle, much like the final boss battle, was long and arduous, filled with unexpected twists and turns. Yet here we are, facing a new chapter in our nation’s story.


On Thursday at the White House, President Joe Biden shared that he had contacted President-elect Donald Trump to extend his congratulations for winning the election and to confirm that there would be a smooth transition of power when Trump assumes office on January 20th, ensuring a peaceful handover of duties.

Biden promised to have his entire team collaborate closely with his counterpart’s, aiming for a smooth and tranquil handover. He believes this is what the American public should receive.

On Tuesday, Trump secured the presidency comfortably as Wisconsin pushed him above the required 270 electoral votes. In his subsequent speech, Biden acknowledged that he had spoken with Harris following her loss.

He mentioned that he conversed with Vice President Harris yesterday. He considers her both a partner and a dedicated public servant. Her recent campaign was inspiring to many, showcasing qualities he’s long admired – her unyielding spirit, which he likened to a steel rod. She possesses genuine character, and her dedication is commendable. The entire team behind her campaign should take pride in their work.

Biden also provided words of encouragement and consolation to those disappointed by the election outcome, while emphasizing that democracy would continue to thrive during a Trump administration. Throughout their campaigns for the White House in this election season, both Biden and Harris had expressed concerns that Trump poses a danger to our democratic institutions.

Ever since America was established, there has been a continuous argument about our identity and this discussion remains relevant today,” Biden stated. “Some might find it obvious to celebrate victory now, while others may feel sorrow. Elections are battles of contrasting ideas. The nation selects one or the other. We acknowledge the decision the nation has made. I’ve often said, ‘You can’t appreciate your country solely when you triumph.’ Similarly, you cannot love your neighbor only when you agree. My hope is that we can all view each other as fellow Americans, regardless of who you voted for.
