President Joe Biden, addressing the nation after Donald Trump’s decisive victory over Vice President Kamala Harris, urged Americans on Thursday to “accept the choice the country made” while encouraging his supporters to “get back up.”

“We accept the choice the country made,” he said in brief remarks from the White House Rose Garden. “I’ve said many times, you can’t love your country only when you win. You can’t love your neighbor only when you agree.”

Biden’s speech comes exactly four years to the day he was declared the winner of the 2020 election against Trump, who has spent the years since insisting that those results were rigged and attempted to have them overturned.

“I will do my duty as president: I will fulfill my oath and I will honor the Constitution. On Jan. 20, we’ll have a peaceful transfer of power here in America,” Biden said Thursday, after encouraging voters across the political spectrum to “bring down the temperature.”

Biden acknowledged that the achievements of his administration are not yet being felt by the American people and suggested it will take years to feel the effects. He said legislation he signed into law is only just now “really kicking in,” adding that $1 trillion in infrastructure work will get done and will change people’s lives in rural communities and other places experiencing difficulties.
