Joe Biden: the ‘messages’ of the victory speech | 2020 U.S. elections

Biden also said the country needs to “rescue the soul of America” ​​and that Democrats and Republicans must cooperate on behalf of Americans.

• ‘Although I am the first woman in this position, I will not be the last,’ said Kamala Harris in a first speech

See below the “cuts” that Joe Biden gave in his first speech after the victory:

“The people of this nation made themselves heard and gave us 74 million votes. I must admit I was surprised. The explosion of joy and renewed faith throughout the world. And tomorrow will be better. I am happy for the trust placed in me. I guarantee that I will be a president who does not want to share, but to unify. Who does not see red or blue states, but who sees the United States ”.

“It’s time to cool down, listen to each other, and move on to treat opponents no longer like our enemies. They are not our enemies. They are americans. The Bible tells us that there is a time for everything, to build, plant, reap, heal. And this is the time to heal in America. Our campaign is over and Americans have called us to march together with the force of justice, science and the forces of the scattered. “

“We have the opportunity to overcome despair, to build a prosperous nation, with a purpose.”

Four years ago, Trump delivered a similar speech defeating Hillary Clinton. At the time, he promised that every citizen would have “the opportunity to realize their potential.” However, what was seen during his rule was quite different.

On more than one occasion, Trump has opted for the growing polarization of the country as a strategy to try for reelection and has been permissive with white supremacist movements, has acted against Latinos and immigrants, and has even asked governors to toughen prisons against anti-racist protesters.

“I am a proud Democrat, but I will rule as American President. We will end this demonization of America. Let’s get this over with, here and now. This refusal between Democrats and Republicans not to cooperate is not a mysterious force out of control. It is a choice we make. I believe this is part of the mandate that the American people have given us. They want us to cooperate in their interest ”.

“Our work begins today: to have Covid-19 under control. We cannot restore the economy with the disease that is claiming lives. We can only recover the economy when we have this (the coronavirus) under control ”.

“I will spare no effort to be able to turn the corner and defeat this pandemic.”

“On Monday I will appoint scientists and advisers to begin on January 21 a plan against Covid-19 to rebuild the foundation of our science.”

Since the beginning of the pandemic, Trump has neglected the guidance of scientists and doctors regarding Covid-19 and has avoided wearing masks in large demonstrations. Without a strong and unified policy to combat the disease, the country recorded more than 9 million confirmed cases and more than 250,000 deaths.

The United States recorded consecutive records of new cases, surpassing 120,000 new infections in a single day.

“I told them that I wanted this campaign to look like America. Now, I’m going to make this government look like America. I asked you and so did you. Now, let’s give ourselves a chance. Let’s put aside that harsher rhetoric and move on. “

I will work with all my heart to earn everyone’s trust. I think America should be like this. Go with the people and with the people and my administration will be based on that. I sought that position to restore America’s faith.

“Tonight the whole world is looking at America. I believe in the best of us. America is a beacon to the world at its finest. We will lead not just by the example of our power, but also by the power of our example. . “

During his administration, Trump also played a difficult game in foreign policy. It withdrew the United States from the Paris climate and nuclear accords with Iran, waged a trade war with China, and expanded the physical barrier on the border with Mexico.

More than once he was embroiled in controversies with world leaders such as French President Emmanuel Macron and German Prime Minister Angela Merkel.
