Biden Calls for Unity After Trump Election Win

In a speech from the White House Rose Garden following Kamala Harris's defeat in the 2024 presidential election, President Joe Biden emphasized the need for unity and a peaceful transfer of power to Donald Trump. Biden praised Harris for her inspiring campaign and character, despite her election loss, and assured the public that the electoral process was honest and transparent. He reiterated his commitment to democracy, stating that 'the will of the people always prevails,' and urged Americans to stay engaged and hopeful. Biden also acknowledged the disappointment among some Democrats, who blame him for Harris’s loss, but defended his decision to run, highlighting his achievements in office. Fox News host Lawrence Jones defended Biden, arguing it was unfair to blame him entirely for Harris's defeat. Despite the electoral setback, Biden stressed the importance of perseverance and maintaining faith in the democratic process.
