Barack Obama actually said...

"My number one priority in the coming two months is to try to facilitate a transition that ensures our president-elect is successful."

"I'm more troubled that you're seeing a lot of Republican officials go along with it."

"Joe Biden is going to be the next President of the United States. Kamala Harris will be the next Vice President."

"I think Joe Biden is right to say that we should all make an effort to do our best to lower the temperature and listen to the other side."
