Kaine Statement on Congressional Certification of 2024 Election

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Tim Kaine (D-VA) released the following statement after Congress certified the results of the 2024 election:

“My profound thanks to Vice President Kamala Harris. She is a history-making Vice President and Presidential candidate. She played an important role in an Administration that produced long lasting economic, social, and diplomatic accomplishments. She conceded when she lost. She did not lie about the result. She did not try to strong-arm election officials into fraudulently reporting fake results. She did not file baseless lawsuits challenging the outcome. She did not inspire a violent attack on the Capitol to interrupt the peaceful transfer of power—instead she presided gracefully over the election certification. She did not skip town because she was too ashamed to face people after her loss. She has never encouraged violence against political opponents. She is what democracy looks like.”
