WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - Incumbent President Joe Biden in his address to the nation after the 2024 election said that he had assured President-elect Donald Trump of a peaceful transition of power.
"Yesterday, I spoke with President-elect Trump to congratulate him on his victory, and I assured him that I’d direct my entire administration to work with his team to ensure a peaceful and orderly transition. That’s what the American people deserve," Biden said on Thursday.
"I know for some people it is a time for victory, to state the obvious. For others, it’s a time of loss," Biden added. "Campaigns are contests of competing visions. The country chooses one or the other, we accept the choice the country made."
A presidential election took place in the United States on November 5. Republican candidate Donald Trump, who served as the US president from 2017-2021, was declared the winner by all leading race callers and networks. Democratic candidate Kamala Harris conceded defeat in an address to supporters.
