WATCH: Democrat Pete Buttigieg Delivers Powerful MSG To Trump At White House After Midterm Results

What an incredible night it is already shaping up to be. I could not be prouder to be with you to make sure that we have victories up and down the ballot because I believe this is the night that historians will say things started to turn for the better in the United States of America in the 2020s. I've been traveling this great land. I've been traveling this great state. Just a couple days ago, I sat at the dining room table in our house and made sure that our five-year-old twins, Gus and Penelope, came over. I said, you've got to watch this. I said, what are you doing? Why are you coloring, Papa? I said, this isn't coloring. This is the most important thing that a citizen can do. And I pulled out the ballot, and I wanted them to see it. When I filled in that little circle for our next U.S. Senator, Abdullah Sayed, I wanted them to see it when I filled in that little circle for our next governor, Jocelyn Benson. I wanted to see those little circles fill in to elect a Democratic U.S. House of Representatives and to make sure that our state house and state senator in the right hands and all those other great offices up and down the ticket. I'll admit that the twins did not make it through to the school board candidates and the constitutional questions, but I did, and I know you did, and I know you did everything in your power to turn out every single vote for victory You mobilized the fired-up Democrats. You invited in the disaffected independents. And you helped us create a whole bunch of what I like to call future former Republicans who are ready to join our coalition. We didn't go out there and say, I told you so. We went out there and said, join us, and we will make things better. Not just better than today, but better than before. And we are not going to the old status quo either. We showed that this is not a 50-50 country when it comes to the idea that health care ought to be a right for every single American, not a privilege for a few. We showed that America and Michigan are not closely divided when it comes to the idea that billionaires and trillionaires ought to pay at least as high a tax level as school teachers and nurses and firefighters in this country. We reminded everybody that there is a super majority of Americans and Michiganders who believe that the wealthiest economy in the world ought to have the best public schools in the world and that money has no place in our politics and partisan gerrymandering has no place in our electoral system. Folks, the results are still coming in, but to put it very, very mildly, I'd rather be us right now. Now we know we got a lot of work to do. We're going to have to work to deliver. We're going to have to face the fact that the White House is going to be in the wrong hands for two more years. But even this White House will have to hear the powerful message that we sent from the state of Michigan and from communities across the country. They can't ignore the American people no longer because we have the last word when it comes to election night. So all I'm here to say is thank you, thank you, thank you for doing everything in your power to make life better in this country, to make sure that when they ask us, including my little kids, ask us what the hell was going on in America in the 2020s, we'll say, yeah, things got pretty unpleasant for a while, but look at what we did next. Look at what we did starting that November night in the fall of 2026 to make sure that America moved in the right direction. Thank you for making that possible, and let's make sure we show everybody we get that the work has just begun. Keep it up. Let's celebrate. Savor this moment, and we'll take it from here. Thank you, Michigan.
