Yesterday Trump told us to vote as if he were on the ballot. Vote as if he were on the ballot. That's what he said and that is exactly what the American people did. Together we stood up to authoritarianism and a president who does not believe in the Constitution or the rule of law and we won. With democratic control over the Senate and the House, we will now finally be able to hold Donald Trump accountable.
