Five years ago, an armed mob stormed the United States Capitol. Inspired by lies and hatred spewed by Donald Trump, they used brutal violence and intimidation in an attempt to overturn a free and fair election. And since returning to office, Trump pardoned the insurrectionists who betrayed their country.
January 6, 2021, showed us how fragile our democracy is. We, the people, must fight back against Donald Trump and his cronies as they sow chaos and fear among the American people. We cannot stand idly by as they strip our fundamental freedoms, enrich themselves on the back of working people, and destroy our reputation around the globe. And we must continue to do the hard work to ensure our democracy survives.
Let me be clear: Certifying the presidential election on January 6, 2025, was one of the most challenging moments in my career. Yet I never — not for one second — considered any other action. Because the American people had spoken. And in our nation, the power is and must always be with the people.
