Yesterday, I spoke with President-elect Trump to congratulate him on his victory. And I assured him that I would direct my entire Administration to work with his team to ensure a peaceful and orderly transition.

That’s what the American people deserve.

Kamala Harris is an extraordinary partner and public servant.
— President Biden (@POTUS) November 7, 2024
She ran an inspiring campaign and everyone got to see something I respect so much in her – her character.
She gave her whole heart to the effort and she and her entire team should be proud of the campaign they ran.
Yesterday, I also spoke with Vice President Harris. She’s been a partner and a public servant. She ran an inspiring campaign, and everyone got to see something that I learned early on to respect so much: her character. She has a backbone like a ramrod. She has great character, true character. She gave her whole heart and effort, and she and her entire team should be proud of the campaign they ran.

The struggle for the soul of America since our very founding has always been ongoing.

Campaigns are contests of competing visions. And we accept the choice the country made.

You know, the struggle for the soul of America since our very founding has always been an ongoing debate and still vital today. I know, for some people, it’s a time for victory, to state the obvious. For others, it’s a time of loss.
Campaigns are contests of competing visions. The country chooses one or the other. We accept the choice the country made. I’ve said many times you can’t love your country only when you win. You can’t love your neighbor only when you agree.

Much of the work we’ve done is already being felt by the American people, but the vast majority of it will be felt over the next ten years.
— President Biden (@POTUS) November 7, 2024
It’s truly historic.
We are leaving behind the strongest economy in the world.
Together, we have changed America for the better.
To all our incredible staff, supporters, Cabinet members, all the people who have been hanging out with me for the last four years — “God love you,” as my mother would say — thank you so much.
You put so much into the past four years. I know it’s a difficult time. You’re hurting. I hear you, and I see you. But don’t forget — don’t forget all that we accomplished.
It’s been a historic presidency — not because I’m president — because what we’ve done, what you’ve done — a presidency for all Americans.
Much of the work we’ve done is already being felt by the American people. The vast majority of it will not be felt — be felt over the next 10 years. We have a — we have legislation we passed that’s just — only now just really kicking in.

On January 20th, we will have a peaceful transfer of power in America. pic.twitter.com/P6xFZl0ysR

The video clip is 1 minute and 2 seconds long.
Something I hope we can do no matter who you voted for is see each other not as adversaries but as fellow Americans, bring down the temperature.
I also hope we can lay to rest the question about the integrity of the American electoral system. It is honest, it is fair, and it is transparent. And it can be trusted, win or lose.
I also hope we can restore the respect for all our election workers, who busted their necks and took risks at the outset. We should thank them — thank them for staffing voting sites, counting the votes, protecting the very integrity of the election. Many of them are volunteers who do it simply out of love for their country.
And as they did — as they did their duty as citizens, I will do my duty as president. I will fulfill my oath, and I will honor the Constitution. On January 20th, we will have a peaceful transfer of power here in America.

Setbacks are unavoidable, but giving up is unforgivable.
— President Biden (@POTUS) November 8, 2024
Look, folks, you all know it in your lives: Setbacks are unavoidable, but giving up is unforgivable. Setbacks are unavoidable, but giving up is unforgivable. We all get knocked down, but the measure of our character, as my dad would say, is how quickly we get back up. Remember, a defeat does not mean we are defeated. We lost this battle.
