In a videotaped message released on the eve of Thanksgiving, President-Elect Donald Trump urged Americans to speak with "one voice and one heart," and find ways to come together in the aftermath of a bitter election campaign in 2016.

"It's my prayer, that on this Thanksgiving, we begin to heal our divisions and more forward as one country," Trump said in a video released on Tuesday afternoon.

Mr. Trump will spend Thanksgiving at his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida.
