(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. "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." "Congratulations to Kamala Harris on this remarkable achievement -- shattering glass ceilings and norms around what leadership looks like -- and to President-Elect Biden on this historic milestone," Sandberg wrote in a Facebook post.
