Joe Biden has promised to ‘restore the soul’ of America in his first speech as President-elect of the United States. Speaking in Wilmington, Delaware, on Saturday night, Biden said: ‘I sought this office to restore the soul of America, to rebuild the backbone of the nation, the middle class, and to make America respected around the world again, and to unite us at home.
‘It is the honor of my lifetime that so many Americans have voted for that vision.’
Biden sought to heal divides between his Democrat party and President Trump’s Republicans after a vicious election campaign, saying: ‘We have to stop treating our opponents as our enemies. they are Americans.’
He continued: ‘I pledge to be a president who seeks not to divide but unify..who doesn’t see red states and blue states, only sees the United States, and work with all my heart to win the confidence of all you.
‘That is what i believe America is about. it’s about people, and that’s what our administration will be all about.
