“In America, politicians don’t take power – the people grant it to them,” Biden added, attacking Trump who refused to accept his defeat and slapped legal battles alleging fraud in the vote counts.
“They knew this election was overseen – overseen by them. It was honest. It was fair. They saw it with their own eyes,” Biden said.
