Biden Pledges Smooth Transition After Trump Victory

Kamala Harris's loss in the 2024 presidential election to Donald Trump has sparked discussions on what led to the Democratic defeat, with analysts citing sexism, racism, and strategic focus on economic issues as factors. There is criticism within the Democratic Party that President Biden did not step aside early enough to allow Harris to establish her campaign more effectively. In response to the election results, President Biden has assured a peaceful transition of power and emphasized national unity. Biden publicly congratulated Trump and committed to cooperation for a smooth transition, contrasting with the contentious transition he faced four years ago. Despite the loss, Biden expressed pride in Harris's accomplishments during her tenure.
