Biden: Trump win lays to rest question of election ‘integrity’

President Biden on Thursday called on Americans to lay to rest questions about the integrity of elections, calling the system fair after President-elect Trump decidedly won the 2024 race.

“I hope we can lay to rest the question about the integrity of the American electorate system. It is honest, it is fair and it is transparent. And it can be trusted, win or lose,” Biden said in remarks from the Rose Garden.

The president also committed to a peaceful transition of power ahead of Trump’s inauguration.

“I will do my duty as president. I will fulfill my oath; I will honor the Constitution. On Jan. 20, we will have a peaceful transition of power here in America,” he said.
