Statement

Congressman Jim Langevin (RI-02) today issued the following statement on Joe Biden and Kamala Harris being elected as President and Vice President of the United States:

"The American people in historic fashion have made their voices heard and elected Joe Biden and Kamala Harris as our next President and Vice President of the United States. I commend them for running a strong and truly inspiring campaign that sought to unite us and restore faith not only in our democracy, but also in each other. I am confident that they will serve with dignity, uphold our democratic principles, and work incredibly hard for all Americans.

"Our nation continues to wrestle with unprecedented division and daunting economic and public health challenges that we will overcome if we all work together. Strong and competent leadership is especially critical during this challenging time, and President-elect Biden and Vice President-elect Harris are committed to facts and science, leading through hope, and promoting mutual respect and understanding.

"I look forward to working with the Biden-Harris Administration to turn the corner on the pandemic, create economic opportunity for middle-class families, and protect our nation from foreign and domestic threats, including malicious cyber adversaries who present a greater risk to our country with each day that passes.

"The road ahead of us is long and it will be anything but easy, but with President-elect Biden and Vice President-elect Harris at the helm, I am certain that we will build a better America together."
