John, Joe Biden has formally been elected President.
Our Republic’s institutions—from the courts, to election officials, to the Electoral College—held firm through the most critical stress test in over a generation.
Yesterday, members of the Electoral College met in their respective states to cast their official ballots. Without so much as a single faithless elector, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were duly elected President and Vice President.
The weeks since the election have served as verification for everything we believed and said about our current president and his enablers.
Trump’s attempted coup will go down in history as one of the most un-American, anti-democratic, destructive, and shameful undertakings by a sitting president.
This attack was a close call for democracy and our Constitution. Fortunately, the election itself was not particularly close—or we could be confronting a coup on the precipice of victory.
While Joe Biden’s and Kamala Harris’s triumph and the new chapter for our country should be celebrated, we cannot avoid the unvarnished truth—Trump Republicans are willing to discard democracy and the will of the American people when it becomes politically advantageous for them to do so.
Luckily, John, we know their names.
And the American people will know their names, and what they signed their names to.
We, The Lincoln Project, will ensure it.
As it has become increasingly evident that Trumpism has metastasized throughout Republican Party ranks, we are steadfast in our determination to expose and defeat every last one of them.
We are grateful to have you standing with us, John.
We need you. America needs you.
— Reed PS: Our next stand for democracy, unity, and leadership is a two-front battle in Georgia. We need your help to defeat Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue—Trump coup co-conspirators and leading enablers of his destruction and corruption. Can you help us?
Thank you, John! |
