"Folks, the people of this nation have spoken," the 77-year-old began. "They delivered us a clear victory, a convincing victory, a victory for We the People. We’ve won with the most votes in the history of the nation. I'm humbled by the trust and confidence that you placed in me.

"With all my heart, with the confidence of the people, to win the confidence of all of you," he gushed. "That is what America I believe is about. It’s about people. I sought this office to restore the soul of American, to rebuild the backbone of this nation, the middle class and make America respected around the world again. It is the honor of my lifetime that so many have voted for that vision."

Biden couldn't help but thank his wife, Jill Biden, and his kids and grandchildren for their "tireless support."

"I will have the honor of serving with a fantastic Vice President, who you heard from, Kamala Harris. Don’t tell me it’s not possible in the U.S. It’s long overdue. I owe you everything.
