The peaceful transition of power is one of the hallmarks of our democracy.
I have instructed my team to follow the example that President Bush's team set 8 years ago.
Remember 8 years ago, President Bush and I had some pretty significant differences...
We're all on one team. We're not Democrats first. We're not Republicans first. We're Americans first.
We are now all rooting for his success in uniting and leading the country.
Everybody is sad when their side loses in the election. But the day after, we have to remember that we're actually all on one team.
Donald Trump and I have serious differences; but will ensure smooth transition of power.
That's the nature of democracy. It's sometimes noisy; it's sometimes contentious.
You have to stay encouraged. Don't get cynical. Don't ever think that you can't make a difference.
We learn from our mistakes, we lick our wounds, we brush ourselves off…we try even harder.
