Blumenthal Statement on the Election of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris

[WASHINGTON, D.C.] – U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) released the following statement on the election of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris as President and Vice President of the United States:

“My warmest congratulations to my good friends, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, and their absolutely extraordinary team, and a heartfelt thank you to all of the poll workers and election administrators who have worked so long and hard over these past days, weeks, and months to make our democracy work.”

“An exciting, new era lies ahead when America will have the leadership it needs and deserves, ending a dark, dangerous time for our nation. As was said when another such period ended: our long, national nightmare is over. The path ahead is both challenging and inspiring: we must conquer the pandemic, put America back to work, and fight to restore the rule of law and deeply shared values that make our nation great. We have far more in common than in conflict, but the wounds inflicted on our country over the last four years will take hard work to heal. I will continue to fight for Connecticut and our people's healthcare, economic progress, and common values.”
