My amazing niece and goddaughter Avery has struggled with a stutter much of her life.
She was just told by a guy who knows a little something about it that she can be anything she wants to in this world.
A day she will never ever forget.
Thank you sir. ❤️🇺🇸❤️
From
@nytimes
this morning : “Mr. Trump is the first president since Herbert Hoover to preside over the loss of the White House, the House and the Senate in a single term”
To all the journalists calling me tonight asking for off the record comments:
I was with him for six hours yesterday. Hundreds of people. Dozens of questions across the political spectrum.
There is no one I’d rather have in the Oval Office.
Yes I’m fired up. 🇺🇸
@JoeBiden
❤️
306 electoral votes
5 million (will be 7+ when all states finish counting) popular vote lead
No - literally no - legitimate evidence of fraud
This is over.
@JoeBiden
is the President-Elect and will be our 46th President on January 20th, 2021. 🇺🇸
It’s insane that 17 days after we emphatically won an election by (what will be) 7 million votes and 74 electoral votes, after they’ve exhausted legal challenges and found no evidence of fraud, that I still spend 100% of my time ensuring those votes are protected.
Tomorrow 538 electors will meet in state capitals across the country.
They will confirm what we’ve known for weeks now:
@JoeBiden
won this election decisively. Not close.
Biden: 306
Trump: 232
1/20/2021 here we come. 🇺🇸💪🏻
Perhaps the most difficult 48 hours of Stephen’s life. Of my life too.
It turns out the part of him that I always thought was perfect was not quite.
Yesterday, 8 hours of open heart surgery, the doctors of Mass General Hospital performed 5 bypasses & valve repair on his heart
Tonight my husband was in tears watching
@JoeBiden
speak.
We came back to the US after our time in Denmark because we needed to do all we could to recapture the soul of our nation.
Tonight we know that we can. And will.
The absurdity of tonight makes me more fired up than ever to do what I do
I have been w
@JoeBiden
in every major US city. I have been with
@JoeBiden
as he engaged w every world leader
There is no one with a firmer grasp on the issues nor greater respect on the world stage 🇺🇸
Never before in my 16+ year political career have I received more calls/texts/emails from people wanting to give money to the campaign than I have in the last 12 hours.
@JoeBiden
@KamalaHarris
34 days.
Sometimes you have a night that you will never ever forget.
And sometimes you have a night that makes you crystal clear why you do what you do.
Tonight was both for me. 🇺🇸❤️
When someone attacks
@JoeBiden
on his LGBT record, I get a little fired up.
But the community doesn’t buy the attack, because we all know where his heart is. 🏳️🌈
This election was not close.
@JoeBiden
has 4.4 mill popular vote lead (will end up 6+ mill when CA/NY/IL finish counting)
Our margin in WI/MI/PA is 214k and rising (Trump won the three by 80k in 2016)
We flipped 5 states (WI, MI, PA, AZ, GA) + NE-2
That’s a people’s roar.
I’m so haunted by Wednesday.
They constructed a gallows on the mall and were chanting about executions. Was the plan to follow through? This entire event needs to be investigated like a domestic terror attack.
Actually I do have words:
He asked for an invitation from the Queen for a State visit.
She invited him.
He accepted.
They have been expecting him for weeks at the palace.
The Danes and Greenlanders dismiss his vanity project.
He snubs the entire Kingdom.
He is a child.
🇺🇸🇩🇰🇬🇱
Never seen anything like this.
No expensive photolines, no high dollar dinners, no handshakes at a reception.
Just millions of fired up Americans ready to do all they can to elect
@JoeBiden
and
@KamalaHarris
Day 5 in the ICU. I asked if I could bring him anything from home. He asked for his wedding ring because he had to take it off before surgery.
Never been happier to bring anyone anything. ❤️❤️
Denmark just fully closed its border for one month.
I know Danes and I know they are as strong and resilient as any people on earth.
To all my Danish friends: sending you much love from the other side of the Atlantic. 🇩🇰💪🏻
I woke up this morning thinking I’d have to shovel out my driveway and front yard before heading to the hospital.
I opened the blinds to find it already done overnight by the kindness of strangers who obviously know hard hard this week has been. People are good. So grateful. 🙏
“he’s shown no interest in putting in the work... no interest in treating the presidency as anything but one more reality show that he can use to get the attention he craves.” -
@BarackObama
I would welcome a collective press reaction out about a viable Presidential candidate advocating for the destruction of western democracy on par with the collective press freak out two nights ago when the President said the wrong name.
Too much to ask?
Trump: One of the presidents of a big country stood up and said, Well, sir, if we don't pay and were attacked by Russia, will you protect us? I said.. No I would not protect you. In fact, I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want.
It’s really really time to call Georgia, Arizona and North Carolina.
It’s over.
306 Biden - 232 Trump
69 days until
@JoeBiden
is sworn is as our 46th President! 🇺🇸💪🏻
If my experience in the last 5 hours is any indication, people are very very fired up to see
@JoeBiden
and
@KamalaHarris
take our country back.
Ps. I am too
🇺🇸🇺🇸
Five years.
Through my life I have been able to do things I have never dreamed possible.
But there is no greater joy, no greater source of pride, no greater accomplishment than to be able to call myself Stephen DeVincent’s husband.
Happy Anniversary to my everything.❤️
I’ve done four Presidential campaigns. The
@BarackObama
campaigns changed my life.
But with the stakes as high as they are, I have never been as emotional as I am tonight as we celebrate electing
@JoeBiden
and
@KamalaHarris
🇺🇸❤️
NEWS: More than 120,000 people have already paid to attend today’s Biden-Obama virtual fund-raiser, raising $4 million+ for the campaign — a huge sum for an online event.
My piece on Biden's emergence as a financial force in his own right in 2020 —>
The first thing Stephen said when he saw me for the first time after open heart surgery was telling me he loved me while squeezing my hand with tears in his eyes. The second was “Don’t forget to water the plants.”
He’s back. ❤️
And of course I had forgotten to water the plants
Good reminder that Sen Sanders thought someone - maybe even him - should have run against President Obama in 2012 in the Democratic primary- a move that history says would have guaranteed a GOP win.
Voters in Denmark head to the polls tomorrow to elect a Prime Minister.
There are 14 (!!) parties fighting for votes. The party leaders represented at the final debate tonight.
Quite a difference from our system.
May democracy thrive tomorrow… 🇩🇰
So to sum up:
He asks for an invitation from a great friend and ally.
The Queen obliges invites him for a State visit.
He declares the visit contingent on the great friend selling part of it’s territory to him
This. Is. Not. Normal.
Running into Danes I have never met on the street in DC is kinda my favorite thing.
Jeg savne jer Danmark. God påske til jer 🇺🇸🇩🇰🐣🐰
(And you all better stop me and say hi if you see me on the street cuz it makes my day)
Just hours before his open heart surgery when I was still on my way back to Mass from DC to be with him, Stephen realized there was no Coke Zero in the house (I drink it, he doesn’t).
He walked to CVS to make sure I had it before I got home. 😭
This is Democrats’ biggest dream come true.
@JoeBiden
beats Trump head to head in TEXAS.
Game. Set. Match.
Now we gotta make sure he get the nomination cuz no other candidate wins.
Watching
@JoeBiden
actually makes me a bit emotional because I can’t tell you how much I miss mature, steady leadership.
We need him to be our President and his performance tonight is an exclamation point.
Dear friends,
Whoever you supported before tonight, if you are now interested in trying to elect
@JoeBiden
President, please DM me.
I will try to point you in the right direction.
We will win this but we need all hands on deck for the next few weeks.
This is the very first photo of me and Stephen together. 11 years ago.
One of Stephen and my first dates was a holiday party at VP
@JoeBiden
and
@DrBiden
‘s residence.
Yes, I was trying to impress a guy I like A LOT.
What a journey.
#Thankful
🇺🇸🦃🍁❤️
I’ve spent the last three days on the phone with supporters of
@JoeBiden
and
@KamalaHarris
Suffice it to say people are angry and fired up. And I count myself as one of them.
🇺🇸💪🏼
