For America\u2019s educators, this is a great day: You\u2019re going to have one of your own in the White House, and Jill is going to make a great first lady.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">And I will be honored to be serving with a fantastic vice president \u2014 Kamala Harris \u2014 who will make history as the first woman, first Black woman, first woman of South Asian descent, and first daughter of immigrants ever elected to national office in this country.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">It\u2019s long overdue, and we\u2019re reminded tonight of all those who fought so hard for so many years to make this happen. But once again, America has bent the arc of the moral universe towards justice.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">Kamala, Doug \u2014 like it or not \u2014 you\u2019re family. You\u2019ve become honorary Bidens and there\u2019s no way out.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"><\/aside>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"css-8atqhb\">To all those who volunteered, worked the polls in the middle of this pandemic, local election officials \u2014 you deserve a special thanks from this nation.<\/div>\n<div class=\"css-1fanzo5 StoryBodyCompanionColumn\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">To my campaign team, and all the volunteers, to all those who gave so much of themselves to make this moment possible, I owe you everything.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">And to all those who supported us: I am proud of the campaign we built and ran. I am proud of the coalition we put together, the broadest and most diverse in history.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">Democrats, Republicans and Independents.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">Progressives, moderates and conservatives.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">Young and old.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">Urban, suburban and rural.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">Gay, straight, transgender.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">White. Latino. Asian. Native American.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">And especially for those moments when this campaign was at its lowest \u2014 the African-American community stood up again for me. They always have my back, and I\u2019ll have yours.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">I said from the outset I wanted a campaign that represented America, and I think we did that. Now that\u2019s what I want the administration to look like.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">And to those who voted for President Trump, I understand your disappointment tonight.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">I\u2019ve lost a couple of elections myself.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"><\/aside>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"css-8atqhb\">But now, let\u2019s give each other a chance.<\/div>\n<div class=\"css-1fanzo5 StoryBodyCompanionColumn\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">It\u2019s time to put away the harsh rhetoric.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">To lower the temperature.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">To see each other again.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">To listen to each other again.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">To make progress, we must stop treating our opponents as our enemy. We are not enemies. We are Americans.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">The Bible tells us that to everything there is a season \u2014 a time to build, a time to reap, a time to sow. And a time to heal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">This is the time to heal in America.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">Now that the campaign is over \u2014 what is the people\u2019s will? What is our mandate?<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">I believe it is this: Americans have called on us to marshal the forces of decency and the forces of fairness. To marshal the forces of science and the forces of hope in the great battles of our time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">The battle to control the virus.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">The battle to build prosperity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">The battle to secure your family\u2019s health care.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">The battle to achieve racial justice and root out systemic racism in this country.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">The battle to save the climate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"><\/aside>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"css-8atqhb\">The battle to restore decency, defend democracy, and give everybody in this country a fair shot.<\/div>\n<div class=\"css-1fanzo5 StoryBodyCompanionColumn\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">Our work begins with getting Covid under control.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"css-1fanzo5 StoryBodyCompanionColumn\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">We cannot repair the economy, restore our vitality, or relish life\u2019s most precious moments \u2014 hugging a grandchild, birthdays, weddings, graduations, all the moments that matter most to us \u2014 until we get this virus under control.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">On Monday, I will name a group of leading scientists and experts as transition advisers to help take the Biden-Harris Covid plan and convert it into an action blueprint that starts on Jan. 20, 2021.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">That plan will be built on a bedrock of science. It will be constructed out of compassion, empathy, and concern.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">I will spare no effort \u2014 or commitment \u2014 to turn this pandemic around.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">I ran as a proud Democrat. I will now be an American president. I will work as hard for those who didn\u2019t vote for me \u2014 as those who did.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">Let this grim era of demonization in America begin to end \u2014 here and now.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">The refusal of Democrats and Republicans to cooperate with one another is not due to some mysterious force beyond our control.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">It\u2019s a decision. It\u2019s a choice we make.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">And if we can decide not to cooperate, then we can decide to cooperate. And I believe that this is part of the mandate from the American people. They want us to cooperate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"><\/aside>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"css-8atqhb\">That\u2019s the choice I\u2019ll make. And I call on the Congress \u2014 Democrats and Republicans alike \u2014 to make that choice with me.<\/div>\n<div class=\"css-1fanzo5 StoryBodyCompanionColumn\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">The American story is about the slow, yet steady widening of opportunity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">Make no mistake: Too many dreams have been deferred for too long.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">We must make the promise of the country real for everybody \u2014 no matter their race, their ethnicity, their faith, their identity, or their disability.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">America has always been shaped by inflection points \u2014 by moments in time where we\u2019ve made hard decisions about who we are and what we want to be.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">Lincoln in 1860 \u2014 coming to save the Union.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">F.D.R. in 1932 \u2014 promising a beleaguered country a New Deal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">J.F.K. in 1960 \u2014 pledging a New Frontier.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">And 12 years ago \u2014 when Barack Obama made history \u2014 and told us, \u201cYes, we can.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">We stand again at an inflection point.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">We have the opportunity to defeat despair and to build a nation of prosperity and purpose.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"><\/aside>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"css-8atqhb\">We can do it. I know we can.<\/div>\n<div class=\"css-1fanzo5 StoryBodyCompanionColumn\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">I\u2019ve long talked about the battle for the soul of America.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">We must restore the soul of America.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">Our nation is shaped by the constant battle between our better angels and our darkest impulses.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">It is time for our better angels to prevail.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">Tonight, the whole world is watching America. I believe at our best America is a beacon for the globe.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">And we lead not by the example of our power, but by the power of our example.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">I\u2019ve always believed we can define America in one word: possibilities.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">That in America everyone should be given the opportunity to go as far as their dreams and God-given ability will take them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">You see, I believe in the possibility of this country.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">We\u2019re always looking ahead.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">Ahead to an America that\u2019s freer and more just.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">Ahead to an America that creates jobs with dignity and respect.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">Ahead to an America that cures disease \u2014 like cancer and Alzheimers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"><\/aside>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"css-8atqhb\">Ahead to an America that never leaves anyone behind.<\/div>\n<div class=\"css-1fanzo5 StoryBodyCompanionColumn\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">Ahead to an America that never gives up, never gives in.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">This is a great nation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">And we are a good people.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">This is the United States of America.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">And there has never been anything we haven\u2019t been able to do when we\u2019ve done it together.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">In the last days of the campaign, I\u2019ve been thinking about a hymn that means a lot to me and to my family, particularly my deceased son, Beau. It captures the faith that sustains me and which I believe sustains America.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">And I hope it can provide some comfort and solace to the more than 230,000 families who have lost a loved one to this terrible virus this year. My heart goes out to each and every one of you. Hopefully this hymn gives you solace as well.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">\u201cAnd He will raise you up on eagle\u2019s wings,<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">Bear you on the breath of dawn,<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">Make you to shine like the sun,<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">And hold you in the palm of His Hand.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">And now, together \u2014 on eagle\u2019s wings \u2014 we embark on the work that God and history have called upon us to do.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">With full hearts and steady hands, with faith in America and in each other, with a love of country \u2014 and a thirst for justice \u2014 let us be the nation that we know we can be.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">A nation united.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">A nation strengthened.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">A nation healed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">The United States of America.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">God bless you.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">And may God protect our troops.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":22,"featured_media":214477,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,1,2375],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-214476","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-colombotelegraph","category-news","category-stories"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 -
