End Citizens United (ECU) and Let America Vote (LAV) President Tiffany Muller released the following statement after former Vice President Joe Biden surpassed the Electoral College threshold to become the next President of the United States:
“Joe Biden defeated Donald Trump and will be inaugurated the next President of the United States on January 20, 2021. We congratulate former Vice President Biden and Senator Harris on their history-making victory. President-Elect Biden campaigned with a moral clarity and a backbone stiffened by years of tireless public service. He ran a campaign that spoke to Americans who knew that the corruption of Donald Trump wasn’t delivering for working people.
“Vice President-Elect Kamala Harris has changed the way this country will look at women in power forever. She is a trailblazer and we are confident that her rallying cry of “For the people!” will be reflected every day in her service to our country.
“We look forward to working with President-Elect Biden, Vice President-Elect Harris and their administration to make passage of the For the People Act––the most comprehensive set of anti-corruption and voting rights reforms in generations––a first priority once they take office.”
