• U.S. Rep Tim Ryan (D-Ohio 13th District)

I want to congratulate Joe Biden for never wavering in his belief that there is a better path forward for America. The era of division and inertia is over. Now is the time to unite as a nation behind President Joe Biden. The challenges are great, but the opportunities are unlimited if we come together as one people.

Sweet Jesus!!! @JoeBiden https://t.co/o0dN8Va1tf

• For Ohio Gov. John Kasich, who included in his message an interview he gave with CNN

Congratulations, President-Elect @JoeBiden

• David Pepper, chairman of the Ohio Democratic Party

I want to thank every single person who made phone calls, chipped in support, and fought their hearts out for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. You all played an essential role in this historic election win. While Ohio didn’t go blue in the presidential race, every single volunteer, activist and Democratic voter kept the Trump campaign engaged and spending time and resources in Ohio. They were worried up until the final days and hours, and every hour and dollar Trump spent here was an hour and dollar he didn’t spend in Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Georgia.

• Ohio Republican Rep. Jim Jordan

Democrats in 2016:

“Russia interfered in the election. We will not accept the integrity of the results!”

Democrats in 2020:

“How dare you raise questions about election integrity!”

• Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown:

President-Elect Joe Biden’s election proves that our country is choosing truth and unity over lies and division.

Biden and Harris are ready to restore hope, decency, and civility to the White House – and ensure that all work has dignity.

— Sherrod Brown (@SenSherrodBrown) November 7, 2020

“President-Elect Joe Biden’s story is one of loss, perseverance, and strength. He is a good and wise man, and his election proves that our country is choosing truth, decency, and unity over lies and division. Our country needs his and Vice President-Elect Kamala Harris’s leadership now more than ever. We have work to do to address the challenges facing us: this pandemic, crippling inequality, systemic racism, climate change, and creating an economy that works for everyone. Biden and Harris are ready to restore hope and civility to the White House, come together to keep our democracy strong, and ensure that all work has dignity in this country.”

Ohio Democratic U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown
