In a significant political development, U.S. President Joe Biden has called for Americans to 'bring down the temperature,' following the election victory of Republican Donald Trump. Speaking from the White House Rose Garden, Biden addressed concerned Democrats, remarking, 'Setbacks are unavoidable. Giving up is unforgivable.'

Biden emphasized the integrity of the American electoral system, alluding to Trump's previous unfounded claims of electoral fraud. He invited Trump to the White House, a gesture previously denied to him, and reiterated the goal of a peaceful transition of power, thereby appealing to national unity.

Despite criticisms within his own party regarding Harris' defeat, Biden remains focused on restoring faith in American values. Meanwhile, Trump prepares to reassemble his administration, with economic and foreign policy implications expected to resonate both domestically and internationally.
