Tonight, Americans once again voted to protect their fundamental freedoms – and democracy won.
In Ohio, voters protected access to reproductive health in their state constitution. Ohioans and voters across the country rejected attempts by MAGA Republican elected officials to impose extreme abortion bans that put the health and lives of women in jeopardy, force women to travel hundreds of miles for care, and threaten to criminalize doctors and nurses for providing the health care that their patients need and that they are trained to provide. This extreme and dangerous agenda is out-of-step with the vast majority of Americans.
My Administration will continue to protect access to reproductive health care and call on Congress to restore the protections of Roe v. Wade in federal law once and for all.
The right to an abortion has been enshrined in the state constitution in Ohio.
Abortion access is a Jewish value - that’s why so many members of the Jewish community joined Dems to organize, vote & defend abortion access.
And that’s why Jewish Americans vote Democratic.
BIG win in PA: The AP calls state Supreme Court race for Dem Dan McCaffery. Dems return to 5-2 majority ahead of a year where there will be a LOT of election litigation.
All of my opponents would overrule Ohioans by supporting a national abortion ban in the Senate.
While they work to ban abortion, I will continue fighting for and standing with the people of Ohio.
Republicans keep losing elections in the Age of Trump…and they just don’t care.
2017: Republicans Lose
2018: Republicans Lose
2019: Republicans Lose
2020: Republicans Lose
2021: Republicans Lose
2022: Republicans Lose
2023: Republicans Lose
So what’s the plan for 2024?
Incredible night for democracy. Democrats will keep the Virginia Senate, they keep the governor's office in Kentucky, reproductive rights protected in Ohio. Results are louder than polls. America is fed up with MAGA.
Major victory.
If the very gerrymandered state legislature had its way, Republicans would have put in place a ban totally inconsistent with the desires of the people.
A concrete example of the pernicious effect of gerrymandering and why we have to fight to eliminate it.
Among the Israelis murdered or kidnapped by Hamas are a number of peace activists who have been on the frontlines of the fight for Palestinian rights. https://t.co/hurgRsOSNW
This does not take away from the real suffering of the Palestinian people, and the many other layers to the conflict and the region.
But when we see people celebrating the massacre of Jews as “resistance,” that is not ok — and it does nothing to advance peace and safety. 2/
Your Jewish friends are not doing ok right now. Even the ones who have spent years steeped in the conflict and who have been fighting for peace & human rights for all.
The epigenetic trauma of seeing Jews pulled from their homes, kidnapped, & killed — it’s real. 1/
Terror has opened far too many fronts against humanity. The war against Ukraine. The war in the Middle East. Terrible destabilizations throughout Africa. Constant attempts to cause a crisis on the global food market.
Being strong under such circumstances is to confront terror.
Being a large country is not enough. Being a wealthy country is not enough. It's not enough to have ambitions.
Being strong means helping to protect people and life against any form of terror. Helping. That is the way.
The United States, France, Germany, Italy, and the United Kingdom will remain united and coordinated – together as allies and as common friends to Israel – to ensure Israel can defend itself.
