US President Joe Biden on Thursday urged Americans to lower the political temperature after Donald Trump's sweeping election win, saying he would ensure a "peaceful and orderly" transition to the Republican.
"Something I hope we can do, no matter who you voted for, is see each other, not as adversaries, but as fellow Americans. Bring down the temperature," Biden said in an address to the nation from the White House.
"I also hope we can lay to rest a question about the integrity of the American electoral system. It is honest, it is fair and it is transparent. It can be trusted, win or lose."
On a historic day on Wednesday, the big reveal took place as US media declared Donald Trump as the 47th US President, beating Democrat Kamala Harris to complete a stunning political comeback.
