Biden in his victory speech: It is time to move away from hostile language
Joe Biden has announced that he has achieved a solid victory in the presidential election that took place last Tuesday, in which he defeated outgoing Republican President Donald Trump.
Biden pledged to move away from the hostile language of his predecessor and to seek to heal the rift in the country.
“The people of this nation have said their word. They have given us an outright victory, a firm victory,” Biden said.
“The time has come to heal in America. I pledge,” Agence France-Presse quoted Biden as saying in a speech announcing victory.
“Let us begin here today. The end of the era of demonization in America. I have sought this position to restore America’s spirit, rebuild the backbone of this nation, which is the middle class, and to make America respectable in the world again,” Biden said.
In turn, his deputy, Kamala Harris, said : “ At a time democracy itself was at stake in these elections. America’s spirit is at stake before the eyes of the whole world. The voters inaugurated a new day for America.”
Harris pledged to work towards the eradication of systemic racism and to achieve reunification and unity.
On the other hand, Trump said “Biden is rushing to falsely portray himself as the winner in the US elections”, after the media announced Biden’s victory.
“We all know why Joe Biden was so quick to falsely portray himself as the winner and why his allies in the media made so much effort to help him. They don’t want the truth to be revealed,” Trump said.
Attorney Jenny Ellis, a member of the Trump campaign’s legal team, considered that the media do not have the authority to determine the president of the country.
She explained in an article published on November 8 on the Fox News website that despite the expectations of many news organizations last night that former Vice President Biden won the presidential election and defeated President Trump. The media do not have the authority to determine the election result.
CNN, NBC News and CBS News announced on November 8’s night that Biden won the US presidential elections after the ballot result was decided in his favor after he collected 273 of the electoral college votes after his victory in Pennsylvania.
