A massive THANK YOU from Senator Merkley
Across the country, the American people sent a clear message, resoundingly rejecting Trump's — and his party's — "families lose, billionaires win" agenda.
Americans rejected Trump's massive cost increases that are pressing families to the wall.
Americans rejected his mile-deep swamp of corruption.
And Americans rejected Trump's shredding of our democratic republic as he worked to establish a strongman state.
But it wouldn't have happened without each and every one of you who got involved in this election.
You volunteered, you walked, you talked, you donated.
To every one of you who helped my campaign — or helped my effort to boost other campaigns — a massive thank you from my heart.
What you have achieved is extraordinary. You flipped about 50 House seats. You flipped 7 Senate seats — and maybe 9!!
Onward, Mary Peltola and Scott Colom!
That is an outcome beyond anything we could have hoped for.
Together, we are fighting to build a better world, and I am grateful for your partnership in the battle.
Now, Congress has to deliver. We campaigned on costs, corruption, and saving our republic.
We need to quickly deliver on all three. I'm pressing our Senate team of Democrats — now 54-56 strong — to deliver major bills on all three within the first three months of 2027.
Let's get to work!
Jeff
