Wilmington, Del. —  Today, Lisa Blunt Rochester released the following statement on the results of the 2024 election. 

“From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank Vice President Kamala Harris for stepping up to run when our country needed her leadership, tenacity, and commitment to serve the American people the most. Because of the trails she blazed, the lives she touched, the communities she fought for, the stories she uplifted, we are better. 

“I know right now things may feel uncertain. It may feel disparaging. There is even real fear. But it is incumbent on all of us not to step back but to lean forward to ensure our democracy prevails, our reproductive freedoms are restored, and that everyone has the ability to thrive and get ahead.”
