McGovern Statement on 2020 Presidential Election

Washington, November 7, 2020

WORCESTER, MA – Congressman James P. McGovern (D-MA), Chairman of the House Rules Committee, released the following statement on the results of the 2020 presidential election:

“The people have spoken, and the goodness of America is shining through. We will soon have a President and Vice President who believe in science, who defend human rights and stand up to bullies around the world, and who see the common dignity of every person on this planet. After years of divisiveness, the power of the White House will once again be used to bring our country together instead of tearing us apart. This is a historic day for America, and I want to specifically congratulate Kamala Harris for being the first woman and first woman of color to ever be elected Vice President of the United States. I look forward to working with the Biden administration to crush this virus, safely reopen our economy, rebuild our middle class, repair the damage of the last four years, and restore American leadership around the world.”
