The Democrat spoke for about 15 minutes into the night from Saturday.
In his first speech as president-elect of the United States, Democrat Joe Biden once again used a conciliatory tone, repeating that he will govern for all Americans, not just those who voted for his ballot.
“For those who voted for Trump, I understand your disappointment. I have also lost some disputes in life. But let’s give us a chance. It’s time to put the heated rhetoric aside, calm down, listen to each other.” , declared on Saturday night (11/07).
“To progress, we must stop treating opponents as enemies.”
In a speech of just over 15 minutes, delivered in the city of Wilmington, Delaware, where he lives, Biden also said that he does not see “red or blue” states, alluding to the colors of the Democratic and Republican parties, but only of United States, and promised to be a president who seeks “not to divide, but to unify.”
“May this dark age of demonization come to an end.”
He was declared president this Saturday after the projection of results in Pennsylvania. With the 20 delegates of the State, the candidate reached 273 votes in the Electoral College, surpassing the 270 necessary to be elected.
Biden took the podium in a mask and began his speech by saying that the American people gave the Democratic nomination a “clear and convincing victory” with more than 74 million votes, the highest number in the history of the country.
And he said that his work at the White House begins with the mission of controlling the health crisis caused by covid-19.
“We cannot fix the economy, restore our vitality or enjoy the most precious moments in life, hugging our grandchildren, birthdays, weddings, graduations, all the moments that matter most to us, until we have this virus under control.”
He also said that, on Monday, he should announce a team of prominent scientists who will act as advisors during the working group.
“I will do everything possible to overcome this pandemic.”
At another time, the families of the more than 237,000 Americans who were victims of the disease caused by the new coronavirus were also referred.
The president-elect also stressed that he will fight to end the systemic racism that exists in the country, a point also highlighted by his deputy, Kamala Harris, in a statement minutes before.
Harris is the first woman, black and of Indian descent, to serve as vice president.

The Democratic plate wins 74 million votes
Trump refuses to admit defeat
In a statement posted on his campaign website Saturday, the Republican said the dispute was not over yet.
“We all know why Joe Biden is quick to pretend to be the winner and why his media allies are trying so hard to help him: they don’t want the truth exposed. The simple fact is, this election is far from over.” .
He further said that Biden had not yet been certified as a winner in any state, “much less in any of the highly controversial states for mandatory counts, or states where our campaign moves valid and legitimate legal action that could determine the ultimate winner.”
The Republican questions the legality of votes sent by mail, although this modality is allowed by law in the country, and says that party observers have not had access to the polls, without, however, presenting evidence of their charges.
Earlier, in a demonstration posted around noon (Brasilia time) on Twitter, he said that he had won the election by a wide margin of votes.
On the social network, a notice from the platform alerted users that the message had been written before an official definition of the dispute.
Why was Biden declared the winner?
The democrat was declared the winner of the US elections in the early hours of Saturday afternoon (07/11), after the projection of the result in Pennsylvania. With 20 state delegates, Biden reached 273 votes in the Electoral College; the minimum a candidate needs to be elected is 270.
Then, he widened the margin with a victory in Nevada as well, getting another 6 votes and reaching 279 so far.
As of Saturday night, the count had not yet been completed in North Carolina, Georgia and Arizona, but the sum of votes in the three states, 42, would not bring Trump to the 270 votes needed to re-elect himself, nowadays. , the American president has 214 votes in the electoral college.
