Biden vows to ‘make every day count’

The US president addressed the nation after his rival’s election victory

The US will have a peaceful transfer of power next January, but until then the Democrats intend to make the best of their time in power, President Joe Biden has said.

Biden spoke at the White House on Thursday afternoon, following the election that saw Vice President Kamala Harris decisively lose to Republican Donald Trump.

“We accept the choice the country made,” Biden said.
