Fireworks light up the sky for Biden, Harris

Biden made brief remarks from the Lincoln Memorial, calling for unity after a contentious election.

"This is a great nation, we're a good people, and to overcome the challenges in front of us requires the most elusive of all things in a democracy - unity. It requires us to come together in common love that defines us as Americans opportunity, liberty, dignity and respect and unite against common foes, hate, violence, disease and hopelessness," Biden said.

The evening culminated with a fireworks show that Biden and his family watched from the White House balcony.
