President-elect Joe Biden is fielding congratulatory phone calls one after another. He has now spoken to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, an aide says.
Schumer, who spends weekends at home in New York, was joining the call from the streets of Brooklyn. He held up the phone so Biden could hear the cheers, an aide says.
At the same time, Biden has just sent a note to his supporters and donors, with an admonition about the road ahead: “With the campaign over, it’s time to put the anger and the harsh rhetoric behind us and come together as a nation. It’s time for America to unite. And to heal.”
