Hillary Clinton Reacts To Joe Biden’s Election: “History-Making Ticket & Repudiation Of Trump”
MPA Chairman and CEO Charles Rivkin:
“The Motion Picture Association congratulates President-elect Biden, Vice President-elect Kamala Harris, and the incoming 117th Congress on their electoral victories. We look forward to working with them on a wide range of important issues, including measures that facilitate return to work for an industry that supports 2.5 million American jobs, helps finance 280,000 businesses in cities and small towns across the country, and pays over $181 billion in wages annually. We commend everyone who worked this year to ensure fair elections and preserve our nation’s legitimate democratic processes.”

Yes, it’s over, thank God, but Trump will fight on till he gets “something for leaving”. I’m sure he’ll announce his conspiracy theories today.

Donald Trump is a defeated, impeached, one term president who is leaving the U.S. economy in tatters, our alliances frayed, our adversaries stronger, and our people enduring the largest mass casualty event in 100 years.
His failure is total.

The first one-term president in thirty years, and the only one to lose the popular vote twice.
Congrats on making history, @realDonaldTrump.

Today isn’t about celebrating in the face of those that oppose your views and values, but celebrating from a place of LOVE – combating the hate that has encompassed and oppressed so many of us the past four years. Let the healing begin. 🙏🏼
