In a national address on Thursday local time, US President Joe Biden will work to ensure a smooth transition from the current administration to the incoming administration of Donald Trump. "Yesterday, I spoke with President-elect Trump to congratulate him on his victory, and I assured him that I directed the entire administration to work with his team to ensure a peaceful and orderly transition. The American people deserve it." He added that he hoped Trump's recent victory in the 2024 presidential election would dispel his doubts about the validity of the 2020 election. "I also hope that we can address questions about the fairness of the American electoral system. It is honest, fair, transparent and can be trusted, win or lose," Biden said.
