Providence, RI – U.S. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) released the following statement on the results of the 2024 presidential election:
“This election result has changed the job description I was expecting. We know Trump’s character, so the next Congress will be less about pursuing progress than about containing the inevitable corruption of a second Trump administration. Democrats will need to be vigilant to protect Americans’ civil liberties, our democratic system, and the rule of law, as predatory special interests seek to feed themselves at the expense of our economy and environment. So we will press on.
“I am grateful to the Vice President for a vigorous campaign run on short notice, that brought hope and joy to so many.”
