President Biden to address the nation in aftermath of Trump victory

Washington — President Biden is set to address the nation Thursday morning in the aftermath of former President Donald Trump's victory in the 2024 presidential election. 

The president, who until four months ago was seeking reelection himself, will address the nation on the election results and the transition of power, with his predecessor set to return to the White House. 

Mr. Biden spoke with Vice President Kamala Harris over the phone on Wednesday to congratulate her on her campaign, despite the loss. In a statement, the president called Harris a "tremendous partner and public servant" who "stepped up and led a historic campaign."
