The New York Times also used the same quote and added “Biden vows to mend nation.” The headlines framed a picture of Joe Biden embracing his wife Jill.
Although the Financial Times is known for its conservative headings, it became less staid and used the same quote with a large picture of the President and his wife and an inset of the Vice President.

The front page of the Scotsman also featured a huge picture of Biden with the quote but the paper decided to add more so their caption was: “Democracy is precious. Democracy is fragile. In this hour, my friends, democracy has prevailed.”
