The Hope Stills!

My heart is full, Bassem. Full of gratitude for the trust that you have placed in me, full of love for our country, and full of resolve.

I know you gave so much of yourselves to this fight. And I am so grateful to you.

The outcome of this election is not what we wanted. And it is not what we fought for. But the light of America’s promise will always burn bright – as long as we never give up and keep fighting.

While I concede this election, I do not concede the fight that fueled this campaign.

The fight for the ideals that reflect America at its best: Freedom, opportunity, fairness, and dignity. That is a fight I will never give up.

I will never give up the fight for a future where every American can pursue their dreams. Where the women of America have the freedom to make decisions about their own bodies. The fight to protect our students and our streets from gun violence. The fight for our democracy.

Because the fight for our country is always worth it. And we cannot give up now.

I know this team. And I know that you do not back down from a hard fight.

This is not the time to throw up our hands. This is a time to roll up our sleeves.

You can and will make a difference.

Thank you,

Kamala

Vice President of the United States

Thank you for everything!

We will be back!
