BIDEN: "In America, politicians don't take power -- people grant power to them"

[kpete]

He delivered a clear rebuke to President Trump, who continues to unsuccessfully challenge the results. "In America, politicians don't take power — people grant power to them," Biden plans to say.

"The flame of democracy was lit in this nation a long time ago. And we now know nothing — not even a pandemic — or an abuse of power — can extinguish that flame."

As Biden concluded his remarks, Peter Doocy of Fox shouted out to the president-elect to ask: “When did you find out your son was being investigated?”

Biden turned back and with a dose of sarcasm replied: “Thanks for the congratulations. I appreciate it.”
