“My heart is full today, full of gratitude for the trust you have placed in me, full of love for our country and full of resolve,” Harris said. “The outcome of this election is not what we wanted, not what we fought for, not what we voted for, but hear me when I say the light of America’s promise will always burn bright.” …

She, nonetheless, vowed to continue fighting for her principles and the ideals of America. …

“My allegiance to all three is why I am here to say, while I concede this election, I do not concede the fight that fuels this campaign,” she declared. …

From Fox News. President Biden addressed the nation from the Rose Garden on Thursday after his vice president, Kamala Harris, conceded the 2024 presidential election to President-elect Trump.

In brief remarks, Biden announced that he spoke with Trump on Wednesday to congratulate him on his victory and assure him that the entire Biden administration will work with his team “to ensure a peaceful and orderly transition.”  …

He also praised Harris for running “an inspiring campaign,” and said she has “great character” and “backbone like a ramrod.” …

During the campaign, both Harris and Biden called Trump a “fascist” and argued that his re-election to the presidency would threaten democracy and prove dangerous to the American people.

But after Trump’s decisive win, Biden changed his tune to emphasize unity. On Thursday, the president spoke about political campaigns as a “contest of competing visions.”

“A country chooses one or the other. We accept the choice the country made. 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. Something I hope we can do, no matter who you voted for, you see each other not as adversaries, but as fellow Americans,” he said.

Biden also said he hopes the 2024 election will “lay to rest the question about the integrity of the American electoral system.”

“It is honest, it is fair, and it is transparent, and it can be trusted. Win or lose,” he said. …

I just came to this article through a redirect link from a nov 9( today’s) article-( citing this speech, as (‘as.. in spite of’) that the dems are doing everything the opposite of what biden stated here. I did Not believe him at the outset of this speech. There is no record of anything he has -ever-said or done,..to support any possible belief..that he actually ever means what he says..on any issue-, from any of his.. …”perspectives”. Unless, of course, which it mainly usually is.. to hurt, destroy, or otherwise subjugate the American people to tyranny.. the destruction of america.. and/ or the ruination of Donald Trump. Unless the Lord intervenes mightily in Biden’s life and his mind..to not only change his perspective, to cause him to be in repentance, – but also to restore his mind- so he could understand what’s happening to him in that instance.. everything he says is globalist spin
Lord help us now in your mercy and provision and Grace-, to continue in prayer in the battle, and to be involved-,..in petitions, and/or whatever way we can- according to each individual soldier activist’s ability.. according to the provision you’ve given them.. with money.. transportation.. and ability, Lord the ability also to discern your leading and your voice in our hearts.
In the mighty name of Jesus, Amen

Thank you Lord for moving President Biden to let go of the fight to unite for the good of the country. The Vice President has shown her true colors and will apparently continue to go her own way, as usual.
May more of those who are on the losing side make the decision to let go of their anger Lord. Eight years of it should be enough but many aren’t giving up. Confound their plans for evil and disruption Lord. And bless those who are moving forward for the sake of the country.
We praise You Lord for bringing forth many new legislators who seek Your way and will. May the healing begin among them and all who really care about the country and seek Your will daily,

Another example of God Almighty answering our unified prayers of salvation for America. HIS win is so decisive that even the evil behind closed doors is aware they had better “shut-up” at least for a while!!
Thank you Father again and again for your mercy and showing the World that Christ is supreme and your Kingdom will come !! Hallelujah
