00:00Unlike his losing predecessor-slash-successor to replace him in the Oval Office, outgoing

00:05President Joseph Biden showed grace and acceptance of defeat at the hands of the guy he defeated

00:10in 2020.

00:11B.Y.'s White House correspondent, Anita Powell, on the President's address to the nation yesterday.

00:19President Joe Biden on Thursday promised a smooth transition for his successor, who was

00:23also his predecessor, President-elect Donald Trump.

00:27He also encouraged unity after the defeat of his preferred candidate, Vice President

00:31Kamala Harris.

00:32The people vote and choose their own leaders and they do it peacefully.

00:36And we're in a democracy, the will of the people always prevails.

00:41Trump in his victory speech a day earlier also emphasized unity, as he noted the clear

00:46rightward shifts among voters that gave him a comfortable win.

00:49They came from all quarters, union, non-union, African-American, Hispanic-American, Asian-American,

00:56Arab-American, Muslim-American.

01:00We had everybody and it was beautiful.

01:03It was a historic realignment, uniting citizens of all backgrounds around a common core of

01:12common sense.

01:16Four years earlier, Trump refused to accept his election loss to Biden.

01:20He stood by while an angry mob of his supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol while the election

01:24was being certified on January 6, 2021.

01:28Biden on Thursday drew a contrast.

01:30We accept the choice the country made.

01:33I've said many times, you can't love your country only when you win.

01:41You can't love your neighbor only when you agree.

01:45Biden also said he hoped to put to rest questions about the integrity of the American electoral

01:50system.

01:51It is honest, it is fair, and it is transparent.

01:57And it can be trusted.

01:59Win or lose.

02:00Trump's second inauguration happens January 20, 2025.

02:04Anita Powell, VOA News, The White House.
