Tonight, the American people sent a clear message — they want a politics that brings people together rather than divides them, and leaders who offer concrete solutions to the challenges they face. These results were only possible because outstanding candidates stepped forward in every region of the country — including in areas once considered long shots. They came from different backgrounds and represented a range of political perspectives, but were united by shared values, a belief in public service, and a commitment to putting the people of their districts and states first. We also owe a debt of gratitude to the thousands of election officials and volunteers from both parties who helped ensure a smooth election and carried out one of the most essential functions of our democracy. While this administration has another two years in office, our job now is to roll up our sleeves, make changes wherever we have the power to do so, prevent further damage, and lay the groundwork for the future.

This Election Day, you have the power to change the direction of this country, but only if you vote. Find your polling location at IWillVote.com. Reach out to your family and friends to make sure they vote today, too.

Maine, you deserve better. Now is your chance to send someone who fights for you to Washington. @TroyJackson207 is a fifth-generation logger who knows working families' struggles. As Maine’s Senate President, he fought to raise wages, lower the cost of prescription drugs, and provide free lunch to every student in the state.  So get out and vote on November 3!

Congrats to the new WNBA champs, the @Valkyries! Ballhalla was rocking all season, and this team was fun to watch. Enjoy the celebration.

Don’t boo, vote! There’s nothing scarier than not voting. Enjoy Halloween, but make sure you have a plan to vote on November 3rd.

The best team all season left no doubt. Congrats to the @Brewers and everyone in Milwaukee on your first World Series title!

This election is our last chance to at least rein in some of the foolishness of this Administration. We need real leadership with concrete plans to lower costs, make health care more affordable, make housing more affordable, and get utility bills under control. Let’s do what we can to make @KeishaBottoms the next Governor of Georgia. Let’s go send Jon @Ossoff back to the Senate. And let’s put this country back on the path to a better future.

These are serious times—and we need serious people representing us in Washington, DC and in states across the country. Georgia, I hope you’re fired up and ready to vote for @KeishaBottoms for Governor and send Jon @Ossoff back to the U.S. Senate. Jon and Keisha will fight for you, and they’ve got real plans to build a better Georgia. Reach out to your family and friends and encourage them to vote. Let’s get it done!

Georgia! Tune in as I talk about the importance of voting for @KeishaBottoms for Governor and re-electing Jon @Ossoff to the U.S. Senate. teapawt.net/i/broadcasts/2lgWJRreE…

Tonight, I’m heading to Georgia for a rally to support @KeishaBottoms, Jon @Ossoff, and Democrats up and down the ballot. The last day to vote early in Georgia is this Friday, October 30th, so make a plan today at IWillVote.com/GA.

Dolores Huerta was a hero of mine. When she co-founded the National Farm Workers Association in 1962, people thought Dolores was crazy. “How are you going to organize farm workers,” she remembered being asked. "They are poor, powerless immigrants.” But that’s exactly what she did, helping thousands of migrant laborers working in brutal conditions make their voices heard, and demand something better. Dolores spent the rest of her life fighting for marginalized communities, even as she herself faced sexism and abuse — including, as she revealed earlier this year, from Cesar Chavez and others within her own movement. She also came up with a pretty good slogan, “Si, se puede” — Yes, we can — that I too often get credit for. But as usual, Dolores got there first. Michelle and I are thinking of Dolores’s family, the people whose lives she changed, and everyone who drew inspiration from her example. Photo credit: National Archives, Obama Presidential Library
