Shaheen Statement on Re-Election of Donald Trump

(Washington, DC) – U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) issued the following statement after it was projected that Donald Trump has been re-elected as President of the United States:

“In America, when the people have spoken and every vote has been counted, we declare a winner and there’s a peaceful transfer of power. I join the millions of Americans who are deeply disappointed by these results and share their concerns for the future of their rights and freedoms.

“To every Granite Stater, I am proud to continue representing you in the Senate. I will roll up my sleeves and continue working to ensure that the issues that matter to you—including lowering health care costs, creating more jobs, supporting small businesses, expanding access to affordable housing and child care—are always a top priority.

“I urge Donald Trump to be a president for every American and to put the needs and security of our country above all else.”
