(CNN)Business leaders and industry groups took to Twitter and released statements Saturday congratulating President-elect Joe Biden on his victory, while calling for the country to come together after a hard-fought and sometimes bitter campaign.

"Now is a time for unity. We must respect the results of the U.S. presidential election and, as we have with every election, honor the decision of the voters and support a peaceful transition of power," said Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase (JPM).

"We are a stronger country when we treat each other with dignity, share a commitment to a common purpose and are united to address our greater challenges. No matter our political views, let's come together to strengthen our exceptional country."

Facebook (FB) COO Sheryl Sandberg said that America has taken "a big step toward creating a government that reflects the diverse country we are."

2. Yeah, accept the results so the NYSE doesn't have a plunging DOW etc...

The more turmoil, the more the stocks will be all over the place.

DUMP TRUMP AND MOVE ON CEOs - you got your tax breaks and you will live paying your fair share again. Ain't like you're starving or trying to decide to put gas in the car to go to work or feed your kids.
