WILMINGTON, Del. – On a day of grace and grievance, President-elect Joe Biden summoned Americans to join in common purpose against the coronavirus pandemic and their political divisions while the man he will replace stoked the fading embers of his campaign to “turn the election over.”Biden, in a Thanksgiving-eve address to the nation, put the surging pandemic front and center, pledging to tap the “vast powers” of the federal government and to “change the course of the disease” once in office.
But for that to work, he said, Americans must step up for their own safety and that of their fellow citizens.“I know the country has grown weary of the fight,” Biden said Wednesday.
