re-elected in more than 40 years. this was a huge relief for democrats. huge. but the race was much, much closer than anticipated, heighting the new enormous challenges facing democrats. tonight i renew my promise to you. whether you voted for me or not, to work every single day of the next four years to keep moving us forward. and so importantly forward with a deeper sense of fairness and commitment to equity, forward by rejecting the divisiveness and chaos that permeate too much of our politics. . now, the win staves off another major democratic defeat following the one we saw in virginia. the results in both states, though, are a wakeup call for democrats and a sign of the shaky political footing for a party desperate to keep control of congress in the midterms. this is coming as congress struggles to pass biden s domestic agenda which remains in limbo. the democratic divide and the election losses have heightened the blame game within the party and they are taking not
