8:52 PM: Biden “too many dreams have been deferred for too long.” Biden asks for the “demonization of people” to end and he talks about an opportunity to bring an end to despair and bring about more cooperation.
8:50 PM: Biden says “our work begins with getting COVID under control.” He says he will name a group of Coronavirus scientific experts on Monday who will help implement his plan.
President-elect Biden: “On Monday I will name a group of leading scientists and experts as transition advisers … I will spare no effort, none, or any commitment to turn around this pandemic. Folks, I am a proud Democrat but I will govern as an American.” https://t.co/dV9BINisLm pic.twitter.com/CxWznhUcvV

8:46 PM: Biden says once again the African-American community stood up for him and he will always have their back. He says his administration will “look like America.”
Biden to Black voters: “When this campaign was at its lowest ebb, the African American community stood up again for me. You’ve always had my back, and I’ll have yours.”
— Nolan D. McCaskill (@NolanDMcCaskill) November 8, 2020
President-elect Joe Biden: “Now this campaign is over. What is the will of the people? What is our mandate? I believe it’s this: America called upon us to marshal the forces of decency, the forces of fairness, the forces of science and the forces of hope.”
— Ryan Struyk (@ryanstruyk) November 8, 2020
He asks Trump supporters to give him a chance and lower the temperature and stop treating each other as enemies.
President-elect Joe Biden: “To all those of you who volunteered and worked the polls in the middle of this pandemic, local elected officials—you deserve a special thanks from the entire nation.” https://t.co/eJ4LLajSB6 pic.twitter.com/y9A7rDuan1

8:40 PM: Biden takes the stage.
He says the people have spoken and given them a “clear” victory with the most votes in presidential history. Biden talks about the “outpouring of joy” and hope across the world. He says he is humbled by the trust and confidence voters placed in him. He says he will be a president who seeks to unify and not divide and who sees the United States instead of red states and blue states. He says it is an honor of his lifetime that so many voted for his vision. He says it is also a great day for America’s educators because they will have one of their own in the White House. Biden says “America has bent the arc of the moral universe more toward justice” with this election.

8:35 PM: Harris praises Biden’s “audacity” for picking a female VP and says while she is the first, she won’t be the last. She talks about healing the soul of our nation and ridding the systemic injustice in the criminal justice system. She says the road ahead will not be easy but they are ready because we have elected a president who “represents the best in us” who is a “leader the world will respect and children will look up to.” She says Biden will be a president for all Americans.
VP-elect Kamala Harris: “You chose Joe Biden as the next president of the United States of America. And Joe is a healer, a uniter, a tested and steady hand. A person whose own experience of loss gives him a sense of purpose that will help us as a nation.” https://t.co/eJ4LLajSB6 pic.twitter.com/Qcya5sXofF
— ABC News (@ABC) November 8, 2020
8:32 PM: Harris says Biden is a “healer” and a uniter and a “tested and steady hand.” She thanks her family and her late mother. She talks about how her mother came from India at the age of 19 and says she believed in an America where this was possible. She talks about black, Asian, Latina, and Native American woman who paved the way for this victory and who sacrificed so much for liberty, equality, and justice for all. She talks about black women who are so often overlooked but are the “backbone” of our democracy. Harris talks about the women who have protected the right to vote for over a century.
8:27 PM: Harris will speak first and introduce Biden after her remarks.

— CSPAN (@cspan) November 8, 2020
Harris says the late John Lewis said democracy is an “act” because you can’t take it for granted. She says democracy was on the ballot this election and the soul of America was at stake.
Congressman John Lewis wrote before his passing: “Democracy is not a state. It is an act.”
What he meant was that America’s democracy is not guaranteed. It is only as strong as our willingness to fight for it—and that’s exactly what you did.

6:10 PM: Arizona:
President Trump’s campaign says it has filed a lawsuit on rejected votes in Arizona.
Trump would have to win in multiple states—where judges have already tossed out some of his cases—to wrestle back states from President-elect Joe Biden. That’s the longest of long shots.

These images everywhere, unprecedented for a presidential call in my experience, look like what you’d see in a country that has overthrown a dictator or won a war, which in blue America may be exactly what it feels like, given that Trump has treated it as a foreign adversary. https://t.co/bVeWEssfPr
