I urge President Trump to resign. I urge Vice President Pence and the Cabinet secretaries to invoke the 25th Amendment. However, as these actions appear unlikely, I have cosponsored articles of impeachment to remove President Trump from office.
Today I will be sworn in as the next Rep for NC 2nd Congressional District. I cannot wait to be a team player for all of North Carolina, and work to improve the lives of the people of Wake County, our state, and our country. Tune in starting at noon
I'm thrilled to be Wake County’s next Congresswoman from the 2nd Congressional District. We need leadership that leads with compassion & can work across the aisle. I look forward to continuing to fight for equality, justice & progress, & being the leader NC02 needs in Washington.
This means a lot to me.
I'm honored to announce that our AG campaign has been endorsed by the entire NC Dem congressional delegation.
I'm grateful to have served with each of them and truly appreciate their support.
We must do everything we can to elect
@MoGreenforNC
as Superintendent of Public Instruction. It's up to all of us to reject extremism, violence, and bigotry and embrace opportunity and progress.
I sent a letter urging leadership to include a pathway to citizenship for Documented Dreamers in the reconciliation bill. There are over 200,000 children & young adults living in the United States as dependents of long-term nonimmigrant visa holders.
NC Republicans have shown where their priorities lie, controlling women & our bodies. I'm proud to stand with champions for reproductive freedom in speaking out about this egregious legislation. We will mobilize, we will organize, & we will make our voices heard at the polls.
I am honored that the Democratic voters of Wake County have once again put their faith in me to serve as their voice in Washington. I pledge to continue working hard to secure the votes of people from across our community heading into November.
Congratulations to
@CheriBeasleyNC
, the first Black woman nominee for the United States Senate from North Carolina! I look forward to working hard to make sure Cheri Beasley and all of our other great Democratic candidates get elected this November.
I am honored that the voters of Wake County have put their faith in me once again to serve as their representative in Washington.
I pledge this to the people of Wake County: I will always put you first and I will never stop fighting for North Carolina.
I'm disappointed that the North Carolina General Assembly voted to override
@NC_Governor
veto of legislation that would eliminate reasonable background checks for handgun purchases. We need to be enacting common sense gun safety laws instead of putting North Carolinians at risk.
Thanks for all your messages. My staff and I are safe and focused on our work for
#NC02
and the American public. Proud to have certified the election and of Congress' commitment to democracy & the peaceful transition of power. More work to do to heal and rebuild.
We need more leaders like
@CheriBeasleyNC
in Congress. I'm proud to call Cheri a friend and I'll be even prouder to call her Senator Beasley.
If you haven’t voted yet, find your polling location online and make a plan to vote tomorrow!
AG
@JoshStein_
is the right choice to be North Carolina's next Governor. He has spent his career fighting for equality, justice, and a state where no one is left behind.
He always will do what is right for North Carolina and will make our people his priority.
I’m in! I’m running for Governor to fight for our future. As your AG, I have taken on big fights for you and won, time after time. That’s what I’ll do as your next Governor. Together, we can build a better and brighter North Carolina.
Rather than cowardly resignations at the 11th hour, Americans deserve members of Trump’s cabinet to stand up for our security and democracy and move to invoke the
#25thAmendmentNow
I take my constitutional duty to certify the results of the Electoral College very seriously. American voters have spoken and I will stand up for our democracy in Congress today.
I am humbled and honored to have won the support of people across Wake County. This is the beginning of the race for the General Election and the future of our state and country. Thank you so much!

This hearing is not how I hoped to begin my first term in Congress. Unfortunately, President Trump has shown that he is no longer capable of carrying out the duties of his office. We ask VP Pence to work with the Cabinet to remove the President.
I just filed for re-election! I pledge to continue delivering real results for the people of Wake County. I won't stop fighting to protect our rights and our democracy, and I won't stop working to build a better and brighter future for all.
I sent a letter to DHS & USCIS requesting that they fix the backlog of work authorizations for immigrant spouses. Due to changes under the Trump administration, applicants - many of them women in STEM fields - have faced lengthy wait times hurting their families and our economy.
While Donald Trump openly admits that he intends to do 'a lot ... in terms of cutting' Social Security and Medicare if he wins in 2024, Democrats will always fight to protect and expand these essential programs.
The NC General Assembly passed a 12-week abortion ban. Here’s the good news:
@RoyCooperNC
just vetoed it. The bad? We expect the legislature to override his veto. This is devastating for North Carolina & women everywhere.
Restaurants play an essential role in our economy & sense of community. I advocated for more assistance to help them through the pandemic. President Biden's Restaurant Revitalization Fund is a critical resource in keeping restaurants open.
Cheri Beasley ran an incredible campaign focused on results, equality, and progress. The road does not stop here. I know she will never stop fighting for NC.
We need leaders like Cheri Beasley who will stand up for what is right.
The peaceful transition of power is a core tenet of our democracy and one that we, the people, have always respected. Today's dangerous events, incited by hate and misinformation from the highest levels, are heartbreaking and wrong. They have no place in our political discourse.
Congrats to my friend
@friendsforbatch
on the
@wakedems
recommendation for her appointment to the NC Senate. Her commitment to the people of Wake County will make her an outstanding NC Senator. I look forward to her continued leadership in building a NC that works for all people.
Today kicks off Black Restaurant Week in the Triangle. Restaurants are the backbone of our community and Black-owned restaurants have been disproportionately impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Consider supporting a Black-owned restaurant this week.
I'm officially launching my re-election campaign for Congress in North Carolina's 2nd Congressional District. I ran for office because I have a strong faith in the American promise that when we work together, we can improve people’s lives & make our country fairer for everyone.
SCOTUS just affirmed what North Carolinians already knew: State Legislatures do not have free rein to trample the voices of voters for their own political gain. This is a major victory for free and fair elections.
