President Elect Biden

Four years ago, we watched a collapse in real time one Tuesday night.

This year, the election became a weeklong slog towards certain victory.

This speech by Biden on Friday night was great. He modestly celebrated the inevitability, reminded that we’re all in it together, try to turn down the heated passions of the race, and gave an update concerning next steps.

The big show is coming to the end, even if one side won’t admit it. I’m certain Biden would have appreciated a concession from Trump and a media “call” for the nation race, but he also knows these trappings of success are ultimately meaningless.

The best way to display power is to just start working.

Time to move on and start living again.
