Providence, RI – U.S. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse today released the following statement on the outcome of the 2016 presidential election:
“Like many Rhode Islanders, I am stunned and disappointed by the election outcome, but to paraphrase Mr. Trump, I pledge to work with him if he’s willing to work with us. I also pledge to work to assure that the teachings of science and the dignity of all people are not lost in a Trump presidency. Finally, I am grateful to Secretary Clinton for her dedicated service to our country, her steadfast faith in the American people, and the extraordinary grace of her last campaign act.”
