Westford's Lori Trahan On Biden Victory

WESTFORD, MA — People across Massachusetts from Boston to the Westford Common celebrated after Joe Biden was projected as the winner of the presidential election.

"President-elect Joe Biden’s historic win proves what we all know to be true: Our nation is stronger when we have leaders who put country before party, who seek to unite rather than divide, and who serve not just red or blue states, but the United States," said Congresswoman Lori Trahan, of Massachusetts 3rd District and a Westford native in a statement Thursday. "Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are those leaders. That’s why a record number of Americans voted to send them to the White House. Today, we celebrate a victory in the fight for the soul of our nation. Tomorrow, we get to work to build America back better and restart the wheels of progress.

Massachusetts voted for the president-elect by over 30 points, one of the largest margins he won in any state, according to unofficial results. As soon as the race was called Saturday, his supporters began to gather to march through the streets in celebration.
