President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris addressed the nation from Wilmington, Delaware, after being declared the winners of the 2020 presidential election. President-elect Biden said the American people have “delivered us a clear victory,” and he urged that “this grim era of demonization in America begin to end here and now.” He also addressed supporters of President Trump, saying he understands their disappointment but that it was “time to put away the harsh rhetoric, lower the temperature, see each other again, listen to each other again, and to make progress, we have to stop treating our opponents as our enemies. They are not enemies. We are Americans.” Vice President-elect Harris in her remarks thanked the American people and acknowledged the women who paved the way before her, “including the black women who are often, too often, overlooked,” saying “they are the backbone of our democracy.”
