PROVIDENCE, RI -- U.S. Senator Jack Reed (D-RI) today issued the following statement thanking Vice President Kamala Harris for her historic service and hard work:
"Vice President Harris is a person of tremendous strength and grit who has given historic service to the nation. She ran a tough, energetic race under unprecedented circumstances and her character and integrity never wavered. She remained true to the core American values we all hold dear.
"With President Biden, she played a crucial role in rebuilding American manufacturing, boosting energy independence and addressing climate change, repairing our roads and bridges, and restoring our international alliances. Those are major achievements, and they are spread across our country to the benefit of all.
"Vice President Harris invited Americans from all walks of life to come together to expand opportunity and build an economy that works for everyone. Although she fell short of her goal, she blazed a trail for others to follow."
