WASHINGTON - President Joe Biden urged Americans Thursday to lower the political temperature after Donald Trump's crushing election win over Kamala Harris, saying in a conciliatory address to the nation that he would ensure a peaceful transition of power.In a solemn speech from the White House, Biden also said the result should"lay to rest" doubts about the integrity of the US election system fueled by Trump's refusal to acknowledge his own 2020 defeat by the Democrat.
Biden said he had called Republican Trump to congratulate the twice-impeached former president and assure him there would be a"peaceful and orderly" transition. World leaders have swiftly pledged to work with Trump, despite concerns in much of the globe about his nationalist"America First" approach and pledges to slap huge tariffs on foreign imports.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a leading figure in the anti-vaccine movement for whom Trump has pledged a"big role" in healthcare, told NBC News on Wednesday that"I'm not going to take away anybody's vaccines."
