Biden positioned himself to be a leader who "seeks not to divide, but to unify" a nation gripped by a historic pandemic and a confluence of economic and social turmoil.
"I sought this office to restore the soul of America and to make America respected around the world again and to unite us here at home," said Biden in a prime-time victory speech not far from his Delaware home, reports AP.
