Biden: A Defeat, but Not Defeated

President Joe Biden addressed the nation from the White House Rose Garden after Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 presidential election. Speaking confidently to a crowd of staffers and Cabinet members, he urged the country to remain united.

“I know for some people it’s a time for victory, to state the obvious. For others, it’s a time of loss,” Biden said. “Campaigns are contests of competing visions. 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.”

While acknowledging the sting of the loss, Biden reminded Americans that setbacks are part of the journey—not the end. “We accept the choice the country made,” he said, emphasizing unity and strength as cornerstones of democracy.

The president also praised Vice President Kamala Harris for her inspiring campaign, promising a smooth transition of power. He urged Americans to trust in the nation’s electoral system, calling it fair and transparent.

“Something I hope we can do, no matter who you voted for, is see each other not as adversaries, but as fellow Americans,” Biden said. “Bring down the temperature.”
