In his first public comments following the election, President Joe Biden addressed concerns about the integrity of the American electoral system, underscoring its fairness, transparency, and reliability.
He expressed his hope that these qualities would settle doubts and dispel accusations of a "rigged" system frequently voiced by former President Trump and his supporters.
Biden also highlighted the crucial role played by election workers, emphasizing the sacrifices they make to ensure the democratic process runs smoothly.
"We should thank them, thank them for staffing voting sites, counting the votes, protecting the very integrity of the election," Biden stated, noting that many of these workers are volunteers who participate out of dedication to their country.
He urged respect for these individuals, acknowledging the challenges and risks they face, and called for a collective appreciation for their efforts in safeguarding democracy.
