President-elect Joe Biden is positioning himself to be a leader who, as he puts it, “seeks not to divide, but to unify” a nation gripped by a historic pandemic and a confluence of economic and social turmoil. Biden's victory speech came Saturday night in Wilmington, Delaware, after clinching the presidency with voting results reported earlier in the day.
He told a jubilant crowd that “this is the time to heal in America” and pledged to be a president to represent even those who didn’t support him.
In her introduction of Biden, vice president-elect Kamala Harris told supporters that they have ushered in a new day for the nation.
