Biden unsurprisingly spoke of unity, of being president for those who voted against him as well as those who voted for him. This is very consistent with how he campaigned in the general election and in the primaries, and indeed how he’s campaigned most of his career. But he also balanced that message with calling out the “uncivil war” and pushing back on lies. He didn’t specifically mention Trump or QAnon, but his direction on that was clear. It was a difficult needle to thread, but it seemed like the right combination.
