Senate President Don Harmon issued the following statement following Monday’s electoral college vote:

“I was proud to cast my electoral ballot today for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to become the next President and Vice President of the United States.

The next year has the potential to be one of the most difficult our country has ever faced. We need leadership to beat this pandemic, provide economic relief, bridge deep divides and help our country grieve and heal from this unprecedented tragedy.

I believe President-Elect Biden and Vice President-Elect Harris are up to the task. I look forward to working with them.”
