“A new dawn is rising in America. Congratulations to President-Elect Biden and Vice-President-Elect Harris on a historic victory in Colorado and across the country and on focusing on what unites us all as Americans. I am excited to work with the Biden-Harris administration to continue building a Colorado for all, and a United States of America for all.”
Senior Sen. Michael Bennet (D-CO) stated he looks forward to working with Biden and Harris.
More citizens voted in this election than ever before. The election was hard fought and fairly won. With your victory comes the promise that, as a country, we can set aside years of partisan acrimony and get to the hard work of making equality and prosperity our shared purpose.

“Congratulations to my good friends @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris. It’s been a long, tough road—but we are going to rebuild from this crisis and restore the soul of this great nation.
