Election 2024 live updates: Biden says process can be trusted 'win or lose'
Two days after President-elect Trump's resounding victory, President Biden addressed the nation on the results of the election and Vice President Harris' campaign.
He also reiterated his intention to transfer power peacefully.
“I will do my duty as president, I will fulfill my oath, I will honor the Constitution. On January 20, we will have a peaceful transition of power here in America,” he said.
Meanwhile, Republicans are putting the wheels in motion to take power come January, both at the White House and in Congress.
A majority in the Senate, possibly a commanding one, will strengthen Trump's hand in enacting his agenda. But first, the leadership of that chamber will come up for a vote, and the competition between John Thune (R-S.D.) and John Cornyn (R-Texas) is reaching fever pitch.
Control of the House remains undecided, but that has not stopped House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) and his leadership team from asking for his conference's support to stay in power.
