Biden, the 46th president, faces blame for the disastrous Election Day, which he blamed on a toxic divide in the capital. He acknowledged that some people view it as a time for victory, while others see it as a time of loss, with campaigns or contests of competing visions.
He acknowledged that he faces a share of blame from many Democrats for the election's disastrous outcome.
The speaker pledged a peaceful transition to Trump, a figure he criticized as dangerous to democracy.
