Following his political rival’s resounding election victory against Kamala Harris, US President Joe Biden will deliver a heartbreaking speech to the country on Thursday, promising a peaceful handover of power to Donald Trump.

In what is expected to be a torturous moment for Biden, he will “discuss the election results and the transition” to Trump’s second term at 11 a.m. (1600 GMT) in the White House Rose Garden.

The 81-year-old gave vice president Harris the Democratic nomination after withdrawing from the Trump campaign in July, but the Republican’s incredible comeback is now set to destroy his reputation.

However, it appears like Biden is trying to set a sharp contrast with Trump, whose inability to accept his own loss in the 2020 election led to the violent attack on the US Capitol by Trump supporters on January 6, 2021.

In addition to refusing to attend Biden’s inauguration and preventing a smooth transition, Trump made up the story of voter fraud.

Biden “expressed his commitment to ensuring a smooth transition and emphasised the importance of working to bring the country together” during his Wednesday meeting with Trump, according to the White House.

In the meantime, despite their long history of sour relations, Biden is acting like a president by calling Trump and asking him to meet at the White House.

Spokesman for the Trump campaign Steven Cheung stated that Trump “looks forward to the meeting, which will take place shortly, and very much appreciated the call.”

Since Biden’s dismal debate performance against Trump in June, which prompted him to withdraw from the campaign, this would be their first meeting.

The political environment in the US and around the world is drastically changing as a result of Trump’s resounding victory.

According to exit polls, US voters favoured Trump’s harsh right-wing views and disapproved of Biden and Harris’s track record, particularly with regard to the economy and inflation.

Despite worries in many parts of the world about Trump’s nationalist “America First” stance and promises to impose high tariffs on imports, world leaders quickly promised to cooperate with him.

The focus will be on Trump’s selections for his own White House staff, which include vaccine sceptic Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the richest man in the world, Elon Musk.

The transition team for the Trump campaign stated on Wednesday that Trump would be looking for the “best people” “in the days and weeks ahead.”

With a broad mandate, Trump 2.0 is expected to be more unrestrained than his first turbulent administration and has the potential to completely destroy Biden’s legacy.

Stopping the incumbent’s billions of dollars in military assistance for Ukraine’s defence against Russia’s 2022 invasion could be Trump’s first move.

Trump has frequently complimented him, and he has stated time and time again that he would put an end to the war by forcing Kyiv to cede territory to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

In a Wednesday conversation, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky congratulated Trump and called for a “just peace.”

In addition, Trump will return to the White House as a climate change sceptic, ready to dismantle Biden’s green initiatives with his promise to “drill, baby, drill” for oil.

A Harris triumph that would keep Trump out of office was ultimately intended to be Biden’s legacy; however, many Democrats believe he waited too long to resign for his vice president.

Following her concession address on Wednesday, he praised Harris, stating that “what America saw today was the Kamala Harris I know and deeply admire.”

However, there is one thing that Biden and Trump have in common: age.

During his four-year term, Trump, who is now 78, is expected to surpass Biden as the oldest sitting president in history. He will overtake Biden, who is scheduled to retire in January at the age of eighty-two.
