All my life, I've been taking on powerful interests to fight for workers and their wages and benefits, for retirees and their pensions and Social Security, and I won't back down from that fight.
Pennsylvanians deserve a Senator who is on their side, not someone who is out for
PENNSYLVANIA UPDATE 40/40: The votes are in. The count is certified.
@JoeBiden
has won the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (again). And that's a wrap on the 2020 election here in the Keystone State.
PENNSYLVANIA UPDATE 7: I told my team I wasn't going to crack open a beer this year... but then you sent a Democrat to join me in Washington.
Congratulations,
@JohnFetterman
— looking forward to serving with you in the Senate!
When
@JohnFetterman
was Mayor, Braddock went more than 5 yrs without a gun death. He worked closely w/ police, showed up at crime scenes, & fought to ensure communities had the funding they needed to fight crime.

Tonight, I'm proud to endorse my friend, Lt. Governor John Fetterman, to represent Pennsylvania alongside me in the U.S. Senate. Among a talented, experienced field of candidates, Pennsylvania Democrats chose John to help defend and expand the Senate majority.

fun fact: According to NYT,
@JoeBiden
just hit 50.7% of the popular vote nationally and counting.
This is the highest percentage by a challenger since FDR in 1932.
I've frequently campaigned with
@JohnFetterman
and had no problem making "small talk." After a historic primary win, he's connecting with PA voters because he understands their challenges and is ready to fight for them in Washington. He's going to be a great Senator.
Like millions of Americans,
@JohnFetterman
is working through stroke recovery and mental health issues. I'm proud to call him a friend and my partner in the Senate.
Donald Trump Jr's disgusting attacks say a lot more about him than they do John Fetterman.
I used to believe that the filibuster forced sides to engage more—but recent events have forced us to reevaluate. Modern times require modern reform. We can’t let something as urgent and consequential as voting rights be lost to an arcane procedural tool.
WESTERN PA 🆘 Hundreds of mail-in ballots have been reported as incorrectly dated. If you submitted a mail-in ballot in Allegheny County, please make sure your name isn’t on this list. Having the wrong or no date means your ballot won’t count.

@JohnFetterman
would have voted for the PACT Act. This is why elections matter. November can't come soon enough. We need to defend and expand the Senate majority.

@JohnFetterman
has a clear record of public service and the empathy of a leader who understands this Commonwealth. He knows Pennsylvania, he cares about Pennsylvanians, and he’s going to be a great Senator.

No sleep 'til it's done. The American people have been through a lot. Democrats in the Senate will power through until we pass the rescue plan our families need
Someone told me that I could get a surprise visit from
@JohnFetterman
if I had a sign in my yard — so I put out a
@JoshShapiroPA
sign too, to see who shows up first.
When all the votes are counted Vice President Joe Biden is going to win Pennsylvania and be well on his way to necessary electoral votes to win the Presidency. It's going to take time and we all need to exercise patience.
PENNSYLVANIA UPDATE 10: Joe Biden is going to win Pennsylvania. We still have a lot of counting to do -- by some estimates as many as a million and a half votes. Check back in throughout the day and I'll update you as I learn more.
I know a thing or two (or six) about what it takes to win statewide general elections in Pennsylvania.
And I believe
@JohnFetterman
is going to be our next Senator.
PHILLY, we need your help: If you submitted a mail-in ballot in Philadelphia, please take a minute to make sure your name isn’t on this list. Even one error on your ballot can get the whole thing thrown out — but luckily it’s not too late to fix any mistakes.
Since coming to Washington,
@ReverendWarnock
has delivered results for the people of Georgia. His character, integrity, and heart of service distinguishes him in this race.
And, let's be clear: winning Georgia is CRITICAL.
Here's what it means if we have a 51-49 Senate ⬇️
There was no fraud. There will be no recount. Pennsylvania’s election was safe & secure and, thanks to our hardworking election workers, every voice will be heard at the ballot box. In 68 days,
@JoeBiden
will become the next President of the United States.

America isn't one of Donald Trump's reality shows. He can't yell "cut" when he messes up. We're counting every vote, and when we do, Joe Biden will win Pennsylvania and the Presidency.
There has never been a candidate in my lifetime like
@JohnFetterman
. He's faced $100 MILLION in attack ads smearing his record—yet John has stood strong in the eye of that storm. We need his resiliency, strength of character, and care for our Commonwealth in the Senate.
It's truly such an honor to have Senator
@Bob_Casey
's support.
And, with your help, it will be an honor to serve the people of Pennsylvania alongside him in the U.S. Senate.
PA 🚨 A recent court ruling determined ballots with wrong or missing dates will be THROWN OUT.

PLEASE RETWEET + reply with anything missing. This isn't about red or blue. This is about ensuring everyone gets to vote.
PENNSYLVANIA UPDATE 21: VP Biden is outpacing 2016 Democratic performance in the Philadelphia suburbs already with more votes yet to count. And when those are counted, folks, I think we're going to see a decisive win for
@JoeBiden
.
We need a Senator who cares about costs for Pennsylvania workers and families.
@JohnFetterman
is going to tackle high costs and inflation by making more stuff in America, cutting taxes for the middle class, and ending price-gouging.
#PASenateDebate
Mary Peltola defeated one of the most well-known names in conservative politics because Americans understand what’s on the line—and Democrats are stepping up to help.
Every county, every vote. Get ready for another blue wave, America. We have majorities to hold this November.
Another day is in the books, Twitter dot com. Get some rest. We'll pick this back up in the morning. In the meantime, stay hydrated and stay patient. President-elect
@JoeBiden
and Vice President-elect
@KamalaHarris
are worth the wait.
For those keeping track at home,
@PADems
…
— Elected a fully Dem Senate delegation
— Elected the first back-to-back Dem governor since the 1950s & 1st Black LG
— Held 3 House toss-ups & elected the 1st Black Congresswoman
— Flipped the State House for the first time in a decade
One of my most jarring realizations this election cycle... I have a lot of sweaters, but no hoodies.
@JohnFetterman
mind packing an extra for me when you come down to D.C.?
PENNSYLVANIA UPDATE 18: This morning, we were down by a 600k+ margin. As the votes of Pennsylvanians were counted, we watched it shrink. And shrink. And shrink, to less than 200k. Joe Biden is going to win the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the presidency.
PENNSYLVANIA UPDATE 11: I've been saying from the beginning that Joe Biden will win PA. Here's two examples, from each side of the Commonwealth, on why I think it'll happen.
PENNSYLVANIA UPDATE 12: Let's not mince words. PA is taking this long to call because of the PA GOP. Democrats tried to let election officials start processing and counting mail ballots but Republicans refused, which is why we do not have a final result yet.
Folks, I’m running for re-election.
There’s still more work to do to cut through the gridlock, stand up to powerful special interests, and make the lives of hardworking Pennsylvanians easier.
The map is back, and I’m not done yet.

Pennsylvania, you mean the world to me, and our Love Story is far from over.
You don’t need an Anti-Hero; you need someone that will fight the real fights for you.
That’s why I’m excited to announce:
I’m officially in my re-election era.
Thank you to everyone who voted today and supported our campaign.
I’m honored to once again be the Democratic nominee for Senate in Pennsylvania.
There are 196 days until the general election, and we’re going to win.
When I vote for my representatives, I do so based on their character, their values, and their plans to help working Pennsylvanians. People should be judged on what they say, not how they say it.

@ChrisCuomo
made a good point this AM: Donald Trump is trying to paint this delay as an election that's gone wrong, but in fact, this is everything going right. We saw record turnout and now we're going to count every vote.
Pennsylvania has so much
#pride
in our vibrant LGBTQ+ community—but the fight for equality is far from over. It is crucial we elect
@JohnFetterman
and expand our Senate Dem majority to keep our nation moving forward.
Democratic legislators in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin begged Republicans to let election officials start processing and counting mail ballots well before Election Day. Republicans refused, which is why we will not know the winner of the presidential election tonight.

When you send him to the Senate as our 51st vote,
@JohnFetterman
will help Democrats:
- pass the PRO Act
- raise the minimum wage
- lower costs
- end price gouging
- invest in rural communities
- protect Social Security
Now that’s a candidate with a vision.
#PASenateDebate
Two years ago, I stood in my hometown of Scranton asking you to help us send Joe Biden to the White House—& you did.
Now, as our Senate majority hangs in the balance, I'm asking again: For the sake of our democracy, help us send
@JohnFetterman
to the Senate.
Let's go win this⚡
PENNSYLVANIA UPDATE 9: President Obama only won two media markets in PA: Philadelphia and Erie. But Joe Biden is in a position to win Pittsburgh/Allegheny County. Here's why that matters. We have a long way to go, folks.

@JohnFetterman
is going to fight in the Senate for quality, affordable health care coverage for every American—because he knows that health care is a fundamental human right.

Josh Shapiro will be Governor of, by, and for the people of Pennsylvania. I could not think a better person to lead our Commonwealth forward.

Joe Biden: “545 children don’t know where their parents are or where they’re going to live.”
Donald Trump: “Good.”
You can't make this stuff up. The cruelty is the point.

. He’s going to win this race because he connects with Pennsylvanians, cares about our Commonwealth, and will fight like hell for PA families in Washington.
Thank you to the people of Pennsylvania. Thank you to Representative Jim Clyburn who powered this campaign. And thank you to so many Black Americans and voters who believed in this effort and made the decisive difference.
BREAKING: JOE BIDEN WINS
Joe Biden will be the 46th president of the United States, CNN projects, after a victory in Pennsylvania puts the Scranton-born Democrat over 270
#CNNElection
Tonight, standing in front of his childhood home, I was proud to cast 175 votes for the next President of the United States, Scranton's own, Joe Biden.
Now let's go win this.
There’s a reason we have two Presidents in PA this weekend: Pennsylvania is the state that will decide the future of the House and Senate. For the sake of our democracy, we must elect
@JohnFetterman
and Dems down the ballot.
Thank you for coming,
@JoeBiden
and
@BarackObama
