Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden addressed the nation Thursday night, offering televised remarks about the coronavirus pandemic and urging patience as the 2020 General Election continues.

“In America, the vote is sacred,” Biden opened in his announcement, adding how important it is that each ballot be counted.

“Democracy is sometimes messy. It sometimes requires a little patience as well,” he said. “We have no doubt that when the count is finished, Sen. Harris and I will be declared the winners. So I ask everyone to stay calm, all people to stay calm. The process is working.”
