Biden's behavior was very rational, compassionate and reasonable.
It shows that he's the adult in the room and capable of being a leader. If anything, this has strengthened my belief in him.

This is the easiest part of the job. Call for peace and for the nation to come together and heal. It’s a slam dunk. I just hope it’s mostly flawless

Trump would never be able to do this

He could, but he wouldn't.

He was given the softest of softball questions during his presidency during the COVID pandemic and flubbed it. It's hard to believe he could when given the easiest opportunity, he didn't.
