President Joe Biden delivered a public speech from the Rose Garden Thursday morning in his first on-camera appearance since Donald Trump's election victory. “In a democracy, the will of the people always prevails,” he said near the beginning. Biden said he had spoken with Trump and assured him that he would direct his administration to ensure a “peaceful and orderly transition,” because that’s what the people deserve. Biden was subtly nodding to how Trump, in 2020, refused to accept he lost the election. Trump was reelected this week. Biden spoke from the Rose Garden at the White House after Democrat Kamala Harris lost this week to Donald Trump, speaking to his supporters and Americans. The president reiterated that the U.S. election system “is honest, it is fair, and it is transparent. And it can be trusted, win or lose.” He closed by saying that defeat doesn't mean one is defeated. “America endures,” he said. “We’re going to be ok, but we need to stay engaged.” FULL STORY: https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/nation-world/biden-speech-election-results-2024/507-12d083fc-0d51-4303-a18d-9c6373443e04 00:00 - Introduction 00:44 - Biden speaks to his granddaughter 00:54 - Biden talks about self government, democracy 1:17 - Biden says he spoke with Trump 1:27 - Biden expects a peaceful and orderly transition 1:37 - Biden on Kamala Harris 2:04 - Biden on the struggle for the soul of America 2:36 - Biden on loving your country, your neighbor 3:01 - Biden on the American electoral system 3:16 - Biden on election workers 3:44 - Biden on peaceful transfer of power 3:59 - Biden's message to his staff 4:47 - Biden on infrastructure work 5:06 - Biden on the road ahead 5:19 - Biden on the economy he is leaving behind 5:35 - Biden on end of his presidential term 5:59 - Biden on Harris losing the presidency 6:30 - Closing
