Joe Biden also spoke about his conversation with Vice President Kamala Harris yesterday. He thanked her for the election campaign and work in general:
She was a partner and a civil servant. She ran an inspiring campaign and everyone got to see what I came to appreciate about her character so early on. It has a strong core. She has a strong character, that's true. She gave her whole heart and all her efforts and she and her entire team should be proud of the campaign they have run.
According to Joseph Biden, his team is leaving behind the strongest economy in the world.
He also urged the voters not to give up and to keep moving and working despite everything, keeping the faith. The official emphasized that "character is shown when we stand up" and that the current defeat is not total, because the Democratic Party lost "in this battle, for the America of our dreams, but it's time to get up and come back."
You are hurting, I hear you and I see you, but don't forget all that we have achieved. It was a historic presidency. Not because I was president, but because of what we did, what you did. It was the presidency of all Americans.
