John,
Across the country, Americans turned out in record numbers at the polls last night to make their voices heard – and the message was loud and clear.
Voters clearly chose Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to tackle the challenges we face from COVID-19 to record unemployment. Our total vote advantage will be 7 million, and thanks to all of us, Biden is flipping states from red to blue including Arizona and Wisconsin.
We knew that we wouldn't have the final results quickly – and it’s what we prepared for. There are still MANY votes left to count and local officials are hard at work counting them now. But every hour that goes by moves us closer to the inevitable, that Joe Biden will be our next Commander in Chief. Independent election experts have validated these results.
Politicians can say whatever they want, but it’s the will of the voters that decides. And the will of the people is clear: we will demand that every vote is counted and swear in a government of, by, and for the people.
We are winning and it’s up to all of us to uphold the democratic transfer of power as we have since our country's founding.
We must be patient, but we are confident and proud looking at the results. Right now we must hold steady, tune out the noise, and continue to ensure that every vote is counted.
We are ready to move on from this chapter and come together as a feminist movement to tackle the very real issues our country faces.
We are winning.
