US President Joe Biden has vowed a peaceful and orderly transition after Donald Trump’s election win.

Speaking at the White House Thursday morning, Biden promised to help Trump in the transition between administrations, which some might interpret as a jab at his predecessor.

Biden also urged Americans to bring down the temperature with their rhetoric following Tuesday’s election.

In his short speech, the president paid tribute to the campaign run by his vice-president, Kamala Harris.

He said the economy could have been, in large part, what cost her the race.
