Biden, emphasizing unity, delivers sober call to action: ‘America has to be better than this’
President Biden ran on a message of unifying a divided country, and in his inaugural address Wednesday, he asked for help.
Issuing a sober call for action at the site of an insurrection, Biden challenged Americans to join him in that daunting undertaking.
“On this January day, my whole soul is in this: Bringing America together, uniting our people, uniting our nation,” he said in his 20-minute speech. “And I ask every American to join me in this cause.”
The new president laid out the challenges facing the country in stark terms — from white supremacy and political disinformation, to a once-in-a-century pandemic, to devastating job losses.
