WASHINGTON, Nov 7 — Former president Barack Obama yesterday congratulated Donald Trump on his election victory, noting the importance of a peaceful transfer of power.
Obama’s comments stand in stark contrast with Trump’s unprecedented refusal four years ago to concede defeat to Joe Biden, culminating with the violent attack by his supporters on the US Capitol on January 6, 2021.
“This is obviously not the outcome we had hoped for,” Obama said in a statement. “But living in a democracy is about recognising that our point of view won’t always win out, and being willing to accept the peaceful transfer of power.”
The ex-president also voiced pride over the efforts of Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate Tim Walz, who were soundly beaten in the election.
