Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer offered some words of comfort after Democrats lost not only the White House but also their Senate majority.
“Now, to my fellow Democrats across America, it’s natural and appropriate to feel deep disappointment, grief, and even anger in this moment,” he said during his floor speech opening the Senate business week. “I understand those feelings. It never feels good to come up short, but when you do, you get up, you dust yourself off, you learn, and prepare to do better in the future.”
