Biden emphasized the importance of a peaceful transition of power, stating, "On January 20, we will have a peaceful transfer of power. We have 74 days to go. Let's make every day count." He acknowledged setbacks as inevitable but highlighted that "giving up is unforgivable." This statement not only reinforces his commitment to democratic principles but also sets a tone for his presidency, focusing on determination and resilience.
Referring to Trump’s electoral victory, Biden remarked, "In a democracy, the will of the people always prevails." This underscores his acknowledgment of the electoral process while contrasting his leadership style with Trump's past actions, particularly Trump’s refusal to accept the results of the 2020 election, which culminated in the events of January 6.
Biden's invitation to Trump to meet at the White House symbolizes an intention to uphold democratic norms and government continuity. Trump’s campaign spokesman noted that the Republican "looks forward to the meeting, which will take place shortly," indicating a willingness from both sides to engage in dialogue.
Despite concerns over Trump's 'America First' approach, world leaders, including Chinese President Xi Jinping, expressed a desire to work with the incoming administration, with Xi calling for "stable" relations between the two nations. This illustrates the global stakes involved in the leadership transition.
