President-Elect Biden Addresses the Nation and World on a Great Night for Wilmington
There will be time enough for examining the new political terrain in Delaware, but for now I'm just going to relax and enjoy the moment.
We watched the speeches and fireworks/drones from the Outlets parking lot. It was wonderful. Wilmington looked awesome. The vibe was great.
Folks, the people of this nation have spoken. They have delivered us a clear victory. A convincing victory. A victory for we, the people. We won with the most votes ever cast on a presidential ticket in the history of the nation: 74 million. Well, I must admit it surprised me. Tonight, we are seeing all over this nation, all cities and all parts of the country, indeed across the world, an outpouring of joy, of hope, renewed faith in tomorrow to bring a better day. And I’m humbled by the trust and confidence you have placed in me. 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.
