Former President Jimmy Carter was remembered on Thursday as a humanitarian who put service to others above his own ambitions during a state funeral in Washington. His coffin is being flown to Georgia, where he will be buried next to his wife, Rosalynn. https://t.co/EnXtBXFTSx
Over six decades, Jill and I had the honor of calling Jimmy Carter a dear friend.
But, what’s extraordinary about Jimmy Carter, though, is that millions of people throughout America and the world who never met him thought of him as a dear friend as well.
President Biden: "Yesterday I spoke with President-elect Trump and congratulated him on his victory. I assured him that I've directed my entire administration to work with his team to ensure a peaceful and orderly transition. That's what the American people deserve."
What America saw today was the Kamala Harris I know and deeply admire.
She’s been a tremendous partner and public servant full of integrity, courage, and character.
Under extraordinary circumstances, she stepped up and led a historic campaign that embodied what’s possible when guided by a strong moral compass and a clear vision for a nation that is more free, more just, and full of more opportunities for all Americans.
As I’ve said before, selecting Kamala was the very first decision I made when I became the nominee for president in 2020. It was the best decision I made. Her story represents the best of America’s story. And as she made clear today, I have no doubt that she’ll continue writing that story.
She will continue the fight with purpose, determination, and joy. She will continue to be a champion for all Americans. Above all, she will continue to be a leader our children will look up to for generations to come as she puts her stamp on America’s future.
Kamala Harris: "We must accept the results of this election. Earlier today, I spoke with President-elect Trump and congratulated him on his victory. I also told him that we will help him and his team with their transition and that we will engage in a peaceful transfer of power."
The Harris campaign said Sunday that more than 90,000 volunteers knocked on over 3 million doors across the seven battleground states during the election's final weekend.

“It’s hard for anybody to say they saw this coming,” said pollster J. Ann Selzer, president of Selzer & Co. “She has clearly leaped into a leading position.”
This is how dictators destroy free nations. They threaten those who speak against them with death. We cannot entrust our country and our freedom to a petty, vindictive, cruel, unstable man who wants to be a tyrant. #Womenwillnotbesilenced#VoteKamala
@peterbakernyt@AamerISmad@ZekeJMiller So glad the D.C. press is on the case of an apostrophe edit from a non-presidential candidate’s lame duck White House.
In an address on Tuesday night, VP Kamala Harris emphasized a message of unity, saying she sees "the promise of America" in everyone — from first-time voters to Republicans supporting her campaign: "The vast majority of us have so much more in common than what separates us."
Tonight’s Kamala Harris speech in DC was heavy on themes of bipartisanship, working together, listening to those who disagree and/or didn’t vote for her. When she promised to work to “reach compromise to get things done,” the crowd cheered. https://t.co/tRoyrizszJ
Democrats have been debating whether Kamala Harris should center her closing argument on Trump/fascism or economics/prices. Harris’ answer: why choose? She sought to meld both those messages today in her speech at The Ellipse. https://t.co/tRoyrizszJ
