Pope Francis was the rare leader who made us want to be better people. In his humility and his gestures at once simple and profound – embracing the sick, ministering to the homeless, washing the feet of young prisoners – he shook us out of our complacency and reminded us that we are all bound by moral obligations to God and one another. Today, Michelle and I mourn with everyone around the world – Catholic and non-Catholic alike – who drew strength and inspiration from the Pope’s example. May we continue to heed his call to “never remain on the sidelines of this march of living hope.”

Here's our statement on the results of the 2024 presidential election:

I believe that the vast majority of people in this country are good and generous and honest and fair – and whether they are Democrats or Republicans or independents, they want those values reflected in their politics. That’s what we’ll get with @KamalaHarris and @Tim_Walz – two leaders who will work every day to make your lives better.

I’m proud of the work that @WinWithBlkMen has been doing to mobilize communities and get out to vote. With only a few days to go until Election Day, we need everybody making a plan to vote: IWillVote.com

Election Day is two weeks away. I’m heading to Wisconsin, where early voting just started, to talk about why we have to vote for @KamalaHarris, @Tim_Walz, and Democrats up and down the ballot. Make sure you have a plan to vote: IWillVote.com.

We don’t need four more years of arrogance and bumbling and bluster and division under Donald Trump. America is ready for a better story – we’re ready for a President @KamalaHarris.

With early voting happening in states across the country, @WeTheAction is looking for lawyers to help safeguard voting rights. If you’re a lawyer and want to help protect the vote in your community, I hope you’ll sign up: wetheaction.us/votervanguard

Donald Trump is not thinking about you. He only sees power as a means to his ends. America is ready to turn the page.
