“The challenges we face as a nation will not disappear overnight, but as we look forward to the start of a new year, I am filled with new hope about the possibilities of the better days ahead,” wrote he.

Biden’s message comes as the US tries to turn the page in a particularly difficult year where millions of Americans have experienced hardship. In 2020, the country was struggling with the coronavirus pandemic that infected more than 19 million people and killed more than 344,000 people, according to data collected by Johns Hopkins University.

The various shutdowns that took place in an effort to reduce the coronavirus also meant that thousands of businesses, small and large, had to close their doors. Almost 10.7 million people across the country lost their jobs as a result.

Additionally, America saw months of social unrest in 2020 as nationwide protests erupted over the deaths of black Americans George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery.

The president-elect’s message of unity has been consistent throughout most of 2020. In the Democratic primary earlier this year, the former vice president praised his relationships he’d built across the aisle during his time in the White House and as a member of the United States Senate. .

He claimed he could make deals to get things done for the American people and serve as a unifying force in a country that appears to be politically divided.

Shortly after his victory in this year’s presidential election, Biden immediately called on the Americans to get together.

“With the campaign over, it’s time to leave the anger and harsh rhetoric behind and come together as a nation,” Biden said in November. It is time for America to unite. And to heal. “
