I'm encouraged by the record-setting number of Americans who turned out to vote in last week's election have an abiding trust in Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, in their character and capacity to do what is right.

Obama expresses optimism about voter turnout and trust in Biden and Harris, while acknowledging ongoing divisions in the country.

It is a decision about how do we face and embrace this finite amount of time we have on the planet.
When we choose, when we make that decision, I do believe – and there is evidence for this – that the world gets incrementally better, and that is a worthy goal and it’s worth fighting for.
If I had a blame pie for why politics is so polarised and why we're seeing a rise of populism in many places, it's because of that information that is going into our brains every day.
