Hillary Clinton is in an unimaginably difficult position today, when, eight years after she lost the presidential race to , she had to witness another powerful woman, Kamala Harris, lose to him as well. In what has been a day of deep shock and disappointment for Democrats, Hillary has now joined the conversation. In an emotional post on Instagram, she and husband Bill Clinton—the United States’s 42nd president—voiced their sadness over Harris’s loss, as well as their hope for progress in the country.
'Kamala Harris and Tim Walz ran a positive, forward-looking campaign to be proud of. The American people have voted, and Donald Trump and J.D.
Vance will be the next President and Vice President of the United States. We wish them well and hope they will govern for all of us,' the Clintons said in a joint statement shared on Instagram. 'We must remember that America is bigger than the results of any one election.
And what we as citizens do now will make the difference between a nation that moves forward or one that falls back. We need to solve our problems and seize our opportunities together. The future of our country depends on us,' they added.
The Clintons were avid supporters of Harris throughout her run for president this year. At the Democratic National Convention, Hillary put her weight fiercely behind the vice president, saying, 'I wish my mother and Kamala’s mother could see us. They would say, "Keep going," surely.
And Gerry would say, "Keep going." Women fight.
