“It’s phenomenal that so many women and LGBT people were elected to public office. And it’s fantastic that Democrats took back the House. But I’m disappointed that we didn’t have an overwhelming blue wave. I do believe we’re getting closer to unseating Trump. Ultimately, my strong desire is for Trump to leave office.”

"There were some good things about the election. But we’re still stuck with Donald Trump. At his core, he’s a wicked person. We can all hope that maybe he’ll try to work with the new Congress. He said he’s willing to work with Nancy Pelosi. But I think that might be another one of his lies."

“It’s a mixed bag. At least the House is becoming blue. But the Senate will remain red. We’re not where we ought to be. But we’re making progress. We’re stepping in the right direction. I am concerned that Trump will become more defensive and lash out at people even more.”
