WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) — In a time of plague and raw division, President-elect Joe Biden is appealing for unity in a Thanksgiving-eve address to the nation.

He’s asking Americans to “steel our spines” for a fight against the coronavirus that he predicted would continue for months.

With COVID-19 cases surging nationwide, Biden called on Americans to take precautions to try to stem the tide of the virus, by wearing masks and practicing social distancing.

But even as he urged common purpose and healing, President Donald Trump asserted that the election results must be overturned.

President-elect @JoeBiden: “We need to remember, we’re at war with the virus not with one another. Not with each other.”
