Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden has thanked American voters for delivering “a clear victory” for him in the US election, calling America a “beacon for the globe” and promising to lead it by setting an example.


"Tonight the whole world is watching America and I believe at our best, America is a beacon for the globe. We will lead not only by the example of our power but by the power of our example," Biden said, adressing the nation on Saturday evening.


Biden, whose victory in the US presidential election was called by the Associated Press and other US media, said he wants to “restore the soul of America” and “rebuild the backbone of the nation - the middle class,” calling on his political opponents to look past their political differences and “give each other a chance.”
