Biden Wants to Show Trump What a ‘Peaceful and Orderly’ Transfer of Power Looks Like

President Joe Biden stepped into the Rose Garden Thursday to acknowledge Donald Trump’s victory over his Vice President Kamala Harris.

Biden has been here before. Eight years ago, he stood in the same spot next to outgoing President Barack Obama after the Democrats suffered a stinging defeat from Donald Trump. Then, Biden wore a red tie, an outward sign of civility toward Republicans. This time it was Biden’s turn to be the gracious loser. “In a democracy, the will of the people always prevails,” Biden said.
