Big congratulations to our 45th and now 47th President on an extraordinary political comeback and decisive victory. No nation has bigger opportunities. Wishing @realDonaldTrump all success in leading and uniting the America we all love.

I believe that @realDonaldTrump will win in a decisive victory and potentially a landslide Electoral College outcome tomorrow. I could of course be totally wrong, but that helps elevate an important point. Approximately half the country will be unhappy about the election outcome, potentially devastatingly so. In this context, I think it is important to remember that we are one country, and we will survive whoever is our next president. What we must avoid, however, is a world where our fellow citizens who are disappointed raise hell or otherwise revolt about the outcome. The peaceful transfer of power is a critical feature of our democracy that must be maintained for us to succeed. The system is stronger than any one candidate. We will thrive long term no matter the outcome of this election because the system will heal itself. That’s been a feature of our democracy for nearly 250 years and I expect it to continue. Let’s therefore be civil and accept the collective will of our democratic process. We have many enemies that want internecine battles in America to weaken us. We cannot let this happen. The world is a dangerous place and we need to be unified to protect our country and our children.

It’s Election Day in Philly. I spoke to more than a dozen young people (21-32) in this line. Nearly every one (and every young woman) listed women’s rights or abortion access as the top issue motivating them to vote. Other issues listed were the climate, economy, and democracy.

3.5 months for a presidential campaign is still twice as much as we need.

Surprise last minute switch of recipients. I’m getting a heart transplant in 40 minutes. 4-6 hour procedure that I have a pretty good chance of living through.
