How the business world is reacting to President-elect Biden's victory
After a tense four days of waiting, former vice president Joe Biden was elected the 46th President of the United States. The historic victory has implications for millions of Americans, including entrepreneurs and business leaders, who will now shift to doing business under Democratic leadership.
Reactions to Biden’s win continue to pour in, but some have started to share their thoughts. Bill Gates was among the first to share his congratulations to Biden and vice president-elect Kamala Harris, saying he looks “forward to working with the new administration and leaders on both sides in Congress on getting the surging pandemic under control, engaging partners around the world on issues like poverty and climate change, and addressing issues of inequality and opportunity at home.”
Another member of the Microsoft community, Brad Smith, who serves at the company’s president, shared his thoughts in a company blog post.

Another member of the Microsoft community, Brad Smith, who serves at the company’s president, shared his thoughts in a company blog post.
“Election Day this year turned into a very long and tense election week, with many Americans glued to their screens anxiously awaiting the outcome,” he wrote. “It has been commonplace to hear pundits speculate that we have seldom seemed such a divided country. If true, this also makes a different proposition even more self-evident. If we are to move forward as a nation, we must build new bridges to close the gaps that divide us.”
In a released statement, JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon said “now is the time of unity.”
