Biden To Address Nation On Transition To Trump
US President Joe Biden will address the Americans Thursday, vowing a peaceful transfer of power to Donald Trump after his vice, Kamala Harris lost election.
Biden will speak in the Rose Garden of the White House at 11 am 1600 GMT, to discuss the election results and the transition to Trump’s second term.
The 81-year old Biden is however apparently determined to draw a stark contrast with Trump, whose refusal to accept his own 2020 election defeat by Biden culminated in the violent January 6, 2021 assault by Trump supporters on the US Capitol.
The White House said Biden spoke with Trump on Wednesday and expressed his commitment to ensuring a smooth transition and emphasized the importance of working to bring the country together.
It would be the first time they had met since Biden’s disastrous debate performance against Trump in June that forced him out of the race.
