I want all of those Americans who made the difficult decision to have a quieter holiday season to know that you’ve made the right decision, because it’s a decision rooted in love, compassion for your fellow Americans and your patriotic duty to keep our communities safe.

Today, Pennsylvania certified the results of the 2020 election and ascertained @JoeBiden  and @KamalaHarris  the winners of the Commonwealth’s 20 electoral votes.

Secretary @KathyBoockvar  and dedicated election workers across all 67 counties administered a safe, fair and free election under extremely challenging circumstances, ensuring that every Pennsylvanian’s voice was heard at the ballot box. We owe them a debt of gratitude.

On the eve of Thanksgiving, Senator@RonWyden  and I join families across the Nation as they grieve loved ones who were among the 100,000 long-term care residents and workers who have lost their lives in the COVID-19 pandemic to date.

The pain of losing a loved one is compounded by the fact that tens of thousands of lives could have been saved with a more proactive response to this deadly disease—the Trump Admin’s lack of a coordinated national strategy to contain COVID-19 brought us to this ominous milestone.

As we move forward with a new Congress and new Administration, it’s vital that we address the failures that have brought us to this point and institute a whole of government effort to combat this pandemic.
