I can’t mask my feelings on this historic moment in our nation’s history! I am so thrilled that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris won the election – that they won the most consequential election the United States of America has ever faced. The American people had their say and this election was conducted fairly and with transparency, despite what you might hear from the conservative message machine.
And what’s even more historic is that a woman, of black and Indian descent, born to immigrant parents, will be our next Vice President! And I agree with her 100 percent when she said she may be the first woman to hold this position, but that she will not be the last.
Decency, honesty, integrity, and competency will now be in the White House. And we will end the chapter of the cruel, callous, and corrupt Trump administration. The nightmare is finally over.
We are experiencing tough times and are in serious need of national leadership. I am confident that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will lead us through this pandemic and economic recession and will help heal our divided country. I am so ready to work with the Biden-Harris administration for the people.
My fellow Wisconsinites, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you. We’ve gone through so much together over the past four years but this year has been one of the toughest ever – from struggling through the COVID-19 pandemic to fighting back against civil injustice to losing icons like John Lewis and Ruth Bader Ginsburg and the constant battle against an impeached president’s reckless and heartless anti-American agenda. Yet, we made it through and yes, tomorrow is a brighter day. We did this together and I want to say thank you.
Trump thought he could keep our state, but we proved him wrong with record- breaking turnout. Because you showed up and made your voice heard, we turned Wisconsin blue and helped deliver the Biden-Harris victory!
I went to Trump’s inauguration so he could see the face of the resistance. And resist we did! Then, together we rose up and made our voices heard across Wisconsin and across the United States of America! Now, it’s time that we build it back better and restore the soul of our nation. Joe Biden said he ran as a proud Democrat, but that he’ll represent us as an American President, as the President of the United States of America. I believe him, and inauguration day cannot come soon enough. Now, let’s get to work!
And in closing, November 11 is Veteran’s Day. I want to extend a special thank you to our veterans for their sacrifice and service to our nation. America owes a great debt to you and your families.
