John,
For four years, we watched the character, corruption, and chaos of one man shape our national identity.
We watched as Donald Trump violated our principles, eroded our institutions, and made a mockery of the rule of law.
We watched as he pursued cruel and disastrous policies directed at marginalized communities, and as he systematically dismantled the progressive agenda.
During Donald Trump’s presidency, we all witnessed the resurgence of white nationalism — and the elevation of fringe right-wing elements to positions of immense power and influence.
We watched as Black and Brown communities suffered at the hands of over-policing, and as calls for accountability and reform were ignored by the Trump administration.
We watched Donald Trump lie about and then ignore the most significant public health crisis our country has seen in the last century — a pandemic that has resulted in over 9 million cases and claimed the lives of more than 237,000 Americans and counting.
The horror that we witnessed is difficult to put in perspective, but what’s clear is that it required a transformational movement capable of defeating the evils of this era and turning the page. And that’s exactly what everyday people in this country set out to build.
John — Pennsylvania was called this afternoon, and the results are now official: On January 20th, 2021, Joe Biden will be sworn in as the 46th President of the United States. And by his side will be Vice President Kamala Harris, the first African American, the first Asian American, and the first female in our history to hold the position.
This happened because of you. Along with nearly 75 million other Americans, you added your voice and made clear that Donald Trump’s vision for America wasn’t our destiny. Together, we mobilized historic turnout that resulted in Joe Biden and Kamala Harris earning the most votes in the history of the United States.
You should be proud, John. This is your victory.
This is only the beginning. The damage of the last four years doesn’t go away simply because we elected a new president. Joe Biden needs our help to enact an agenda that lifts people out of poverty, addresses systemic racism and inequities, gets this pandemic under control, and so much more.
I can’t wait to get to Washington to work with fellow House Democrats and President Joe Biden to get the job done. And it’s an honor to know that you’ll be by our side every step of the way.
We did it, John. Our national nightmare is finally over.
Thank you,
Ritchie
