Following Donald Trump’s victory in the 2016 presidential election, President-elect Joe Biden is urging Americans to “bring down the temperature” and come together as a nation.
In a statement released after the election results were announced, Biden called for unity and civility in the face of a deeply divided country. He emphasized the importance of listening to one another and finding common ground, rather than resorting to anger and division.
“Let’s put the anger and the harsh rhetoric behind us and turn the page as a country,” Biden said. “It’s time for America to unite and to heal.”
Biden’s message comes at a time when tensions are running high in the United States, with protests erupting in cities across the country in response to Trump’s victory. Many Americans are feeling anxious and uncertain about the future, and there is a palpable sense of division and polarization in the country.
In his statement, Biden acknowledged these feelings, but also expressed optimism about the future. He stressed the need for Americans to come together and work towards a more inclusive and tolerant society.
“We must remember that we are all Americans first and foremost, and that we have more in common than that which divides us,” Biden said. “Let’s focus on what unites us, rather than what divides us, and work together to build a better future for all Americans.”
Biden’s call for unity and civility is a stark contrast to the divisive rhetoric that has characterized much of the 2016 election campaign. It is a reminder that, regardless of political differences, Americans share a common bond and a common destiny.
As the nation prepares for a new administration and a new chapter in its history, Biden’s message serves as a timely reminder of the importance of coming together as a nation and working towards a better future for all Americans. It is a call to action for all Americans to rise above the division and discord that has plagued the country in recent years, and to strive towards a more united and inclusive society.
