Almost three weeks have passed since President-elect Donald Trump swept the votes from Pennsylvania, Georgia, Nevada, Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin, and North Carolina. Meanwhile, Vice President Kamala Harris garnered fewer votes in every swing state than her predecessor, President Joe Biden.
FIVE DEMOCRATS IN PRIME POSITION TO BE FACE OF THE PARTY IN 2028
While Clinton wrote his latest book, Citizen, before the election was called, his words were brought to light during an appearance on MSNBC’s The Saturday Show.
“By the time you read Citizen, we’ll know who won. I hope enough people will have chosen the benefits of inclusive, economic, and social policies and of preserving democracy against abusive power to turn the tide,” an excerpt from the book reads.
“Donald Trump is now president-elect. Is his election a rejection of the benefits of inclusive, economic, and social policies? A rejection of preserving democracy, do you think?” Jonathan Capehart asked on his MSNBC program.

“I can’t say I was surprised,” he added. “I had the feeling all along that at the end this thing might break one way or the other, and all the so-called swing states would vote together because the last 2% or 3%, 4% were actually pretty much alike throughout the country.”
Clinton stumped for Harris during her brief campaign, but his appearances were rife with gaffes. When he was in Georgia, Clinton told reporters that if immigrants were properly screened, innocent people such as Laken Riley wouldn’t have been killed. Then, when he was in Michigan, he said, “I don’t think it’s right to say that people have to vote for Donald Trump because the economy was better then.”
