Update on statewide election results for abortion rights:

I'm grateful for everyone who threw themselves into these fights.

Warren for Senate

Danielle,

In the past week, most of the national conversation has been about the presidential election results — with good reason. And I'm working to hold the line for our values and our freedoms against the incoming Trump-Vance administration.

But looking further down the ballot, I also want to shine a light on key state-level results in our fight for reproductive freedom. Last month, I asked this team to support six coalitions fighting for abortion rights with ballot measures in six states. Here's what happened in those races:

Overturned State Abortion Bans

In Missouri, a group called Missourians for Constitutional Freedom fought to put a constitutional amendment on the ballot to overturn the state's total abortion ban — a ban with no exceptions even for rape and incest. Voters passed the ballot measure and will ensure that families can make their own decisions. While we're at it, Missouri voters also passed higher minimum wage and paid sick leave laws.

And in Arizona, Arizona for Abortion Access passed an amendment to repeal the state's ban and protect Arizonans' reproductive freedoms, putting decisions about pregnancy and abortion in the hands of patients and healthcare providers — exactly where they belong.

Passed Proactive Constitutional Protections for Reproductive Freedom

Nevada voters took the first step toward enshrining abortion rights in their state constitution by passing a ballot measure led by Nevadans for Reproductive Freedom. This is a critical effort against anti-abortion legislators in the state, and it will be on the ballot again in 2026 to make it official.

In New York, New Yorkers for Equal Rights cemented the fundamental right to reproductive freedoms in the state constitution so they are permanently protected without political interference. The ballot measure — prop 1 — also prohibits any government discrimination regardless of gender, age, ethnicity, pregnancy status, disability status, or sexual orientation.

Fell Just Short

Floridians Protecting Freedom fought to put an initiative on the ballot to end Florida's extreme abortion ban, give women and doctors the freedom to make health care decisions, and maintain existing parental rights protections in Florida's constitution. They demonstrated the will of the people by winning a clear majority — over 57% — but Florida requires a 60% threshold for constitutional amendments. This was a heartbreaking result.

In Nebraska, another state with a total abortion ban, the Protect Our Rights campaign had a ballot measure to end the current abortion ban and give patients, families, and doctors the care they need without restrictions. It fell short by just a few percentage points. Another frustratingly close-but-not-enough result.

I'm grateful for everyone who threw themselves into these fights. The victories will be life-changing. And even in defeat, the hard work mattered — new groups have gotten together, new partners have fought side by side, and they've strengthened their muscles for all the fights to come.

Everyone who stood in front of supermarkets to collect petition signatures, everyone who knocked on doors in the summer heat, everyone who made phone call after phone call to voter after voter, everyone who pitched in any amount of time or money they could — it made a difference. I'm deeply grateful. The work will echo in new freedoms won and new coalitions set up to achieve victories down the line.

You know, in 2022, when the far right finally achieved their goal of overturning Roe, it was the culmination of decades of work — in state houses, in state-level elections, in winning all the races that let them stack the Supreme Court with right-wing extremists.

When Roe became law, and the far right saw women gaining more freedom, they took it as a defeat, and they got to work. Now that a constitutional protection has been ripped away from over half our population, it's an infuriating loss that we must work even harder to undo.

Ever since extremists on the Supreme Court overturned Roe, this team has used our anger and our determination to fight back — together we've raised over $700,000 to support abortion organizations that connect patients directly to the care they need, help elect pro-choice candidates, and pass ballot initiatives protecting the right to an abortion.

And we're not stopping.

As we face down right-wing extremists who will keep pushing their radical anti-reproductive freedom agenda, can you chip in $100 or any amount to support the National Network of Abortion Funds? 100% of your contribution will go to this vital organization. And if we can make a difference for just one patient, that's enough reason to stay in the fight.

In the Senate, I will do everything I can to block Congressional Republicans and the Trump-Vance administration from further restricting access to abortion and attacking access to contraception and treatments like IVF.

I will keep working to elect champions of reproductive freedom so that when Democrats once again control the Senate, House, and White House, we can pass a law codifying the right to an abortion.

I will keep pushing for judicial reforms like rebalancing the Supreme Court by expanding it — so a handful of radicals can't keep trampling over our basic rights.

I will keep fighting to pass abortion rights protections at the state level while supporting organizations that connect abortion patients to the care they need.

And I know I'm not alone. We make each other stronger in this fight and all the fights to come, Danielle. And we must continue to look after each other.

Thanks for being a part of this,

Elizabeth

Trump is already breaking the law

I would know — I wrote the law.

Warren for Senate

Danielle, we are just over one week since the election, and Donald Trump and his transition team are already breaking the law.

I would know — I wrote the law.

You see, an earlier law, the Presidential Transition Act, was passed in 1963 to ensure a smooth transfer of executive powers between administrations. Its aim is to prevent any government disruptions that would harm the American public or our national security.

I authored the Transition Team Ethics Improvement Act to add new ethical standards to that law, like:

  • Requiring eligible presidential candidates to develop and release transition team ethics plans and disclose how they will address their own conflicts of interest before the election. These disclosures are required by October 1st in an election year, providing the public with the opportunity to assess candidates' ethics plans prior to a general election;
  • Requiring transition team members to sign an ethics-specific code of conduct; and
  • Establishing a set of minimum requirements for transition team ethics plans, including information about how the transition team will enforce a code of ethical conduct and address the role of lobbyists on transition teams.

These provisions of my bill were included in bipartisan legislation that was enacted in 2020.

But Trump and his transition team have not signed the legally required ethics agreement.

This is what illegal corruption looks like. Plain and simple.

We already knew that Trump didn't respect the law. That's been proven in court. But I won't accept standing idly by and watching as he swats away ethics requirements and bulldozes checks and balances — and we need to call out and fight back against this corruption with every chance we get.

Add your name if you're with me, Danielle: Trump must follow the rule of law and sign the ethics agreements required under the Presidential Transition Act.

ADD MY NAME

We already saw Donald Trump run the most corrupt administration in modern history.

That's one of the biggest reasons why I introduced these ethics enhancements to the Presidential Transition Act.

It's simple: The American people should have complete confidence that government officials — including those running presidential transitions — are making decisions with only one factor in mind: the public interest. Not their own financial interests. Not the interests of big donors and giant corporations. The public interest.

I'm going to keep up the fight to demand that Trump and his transition team follow this law — and I'm also going to keep up the fight for broad anti-corruption reform, like banning members of Congress and federal judges from owning and trading individual stocks and imposing an enforceable code of conduct on the Supreme Court.

Together we can demonstrate that the American people do not accept this. Add your name if you're with me: The Trump administration must uphold the rule of law.

Thanks for being a part of this,

Elizabeth

Read my op-ed on where we go from here

We have two tasks ahead. First, learn from what happened. And then, make a plan.

Warren for Senate

Danielle,

There's a big question that many people are asking at their dinner tables, in their group chats, and quietly within themselves: "Where do we go from here?"

I wrote down my thoughts in TIME to start to answer this question. You can read it below, or visit the link here to share with the people you care about.

We have two tasks ahead. First, learn from what happened. And then, make a plan.

What we do next is important. And I need you in this fight with me.

Thanks for being a part of this,

Elizabeth



Sen. Elizabeth Warren: Here's the Plan to Fight Back

To everyone who feels like their heart has been ripped out of their chest, I feel the same. To everyone who is afraid of what happens next, I share your fears. But what we do next is important, and I need you in this fight with me.

As we confront a second Donald Trump presidency, we have two tasks ahead. First, try to learn from what happened. And then, make a plan.

Many political experts and D.C. insiders are already blaming President Joe Biden's economic agenda for Vice President Kamala Harris' loss. This does not stand up to scrutiny. Even though the Biden economy produced strong economic growth while reining in inflation, incumbent parties across the globe have been tossed out by voters after the pandemic. American voters also showed support for Democratic economic policies, for example, approving ballot initiatives to raise the minimum wage in Alaska and to guarantee paid sick leave in Missouri.

But good economic policies do not erase painful underlying truths about our country. For my entire career, I've studied how the system is rigged against working-class families. On paper, the U.S. economy is the strongest in the world. But working families are struggling with big expenses like the cost of housing, health care, and childcare. Giant corporations get tax breaks and favorable rules while workers are gouged by higher prices. Billionaires pay paltry taxes on their wealth while families can't afford to buy their first homes.

Americans do not want a country where political parties each field their own team of billionaires who then squabble over how to divvy up the spoils of government. Vice President Harris deserves credit for running an inspiring campaign under unprecedented circumstances. But if Democrats want to earn back the trust of working people and govern again, we need to convince voters we can—and will—unrig the economy.

What comes next? Trump won the election, but more than 67 million people voted for Democrats and they don't expect us to roll over and play dead. We will have a peaceful transition of power, followed by a vigorous challenge from the party out of power, because that's how democracy works. Here's a path forward.

First, fight every fight in Congress.

We won't always win, but we can slow or sometimes limit Trump's destruction. With every fight, we can build political power to put more checks on his administration and build the foundation for future wins. Remember that during the first Trump term, mass mobilization—including some of the largest peaceful protests in world history—was the battery that charged the resistance. There is power in solidarity, and we can't win if we don't get in the fight.

During the Trump years, Congress stepped up its oversight of his unprecedented corruption and abuses of power. In the Senate, Democrats gave no quarter to radical Trump nominees; we asked tough questions and held the Senate floor for hours to slow down confirmation and expose Republican extremism. These tactics doomed some nominations entirely, laid the groundwork for other cabinet officials to later resign in disgrace, and brought scrutiny that somewhat constrained Trump's efforts.

When all this work came together, we won some of the toughest fights. Remember Republicans' attempts to repeal the Affordable Care Act? Democrats did not have the votes to stop the repeal. Nevertheless, we fought on. Patients kept up a relentless rotation of meetings in Congress, activists in wheelchairs performed civil disobedience, and lawmakers used every tactic possible—late night speeches, forums highlighting patient stories, committee reports, and procedural tactics—to draw attention to the Republican repeal effort. This sustained resistance ultimately shifted the politics of health care repeal. The final vote was a squeaker, but Republicans lost and the ACA survived.

Democrats should also acknowledge that seeking a middle ground with a man who calls immigrants "animals" and says he will "protect" women "whether the women like it or not" is unlikely to land in a good place. Uniting against Trump's legislative agenda is good politics because it is good policy. It was Democratic opposition to Trump's tax bill that drove Trump's approval ratings to what was then the lowest levels of his administration, forcing Republicans to scrap all mention of the law ahead of the 2018 midterm election and helping spark one of the largest blue waves in recent history.

Second, fight Trump in the courts.

Yes, extremist courts, including a Supreme Court stocked with MAGA loyalists, are poised to rubber-stamp Trump's lawlessness. But litigation can slow Trump down, give us time to prepare and help the vulnerable, and deliver some victories.

Third, focus on what each of us can do.

I understand my assignment in the Senate, but we all have a part to play. During the first Trump administration, Democrats vigorously contested every special election and laid the groundwork to take back the House in the 2018 midterms, creating a powerful check on Trump and breaking the Republican trifecta. Whether it's stepping up to run for office, supporting a neighbor's campaign, or getting involved in an organization taking action, we all have to continue to make investments in our democracy—including in states that are passed over as "too red." The political position we're in is not permanent, and we have the power to make change if we fight for it.

Finally, Democrats currently in office must work with urgency.

While still in charge of the Senate and the White House, we must do all we can to safeguard our democracy. To resist Trump's threats to abuse state power against what he calls "the enemy within," Pentagon leaders should issue a directive now reiterating that the military's oath is to the Constitution. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer must use every minute of the end-of-year legislative session to confirm federal judges and key regulators—none of whom can be removed by the next President.

To those feeling despair: I understand. But remember, every step toward progress in American history came after the darkness of defeat. Abolitionists, suffragettes, Dreamers, and marchers for civil rights and marriage equality all faced impossible odds, but they persisted. Now it is our turn to pull up our socks and get back in the fight.

I will not ask you to look for silver linings.

I will not ask you to feel anything but grief right now. The consequences of this election will be real and devastating.

But I'm reminding myself that on the road ahead, there will still be opportunities to fight back.

I can't tell you we will win all of those fights. I can't tell you we will win most or even any of them. But when we arrive at each of those moments, we will face a choice: to give up, or to press forward.

We can't control everything that comes next. But we can control how we respond.

The far right wants us to feel powerless. Extremists are counting on apathy, cynicism, heartbreak, or all the above to be their rocketfuel. They are counting on us to point fingers at each other and lose trust in our ability to ever, ever make change.

I absolutely refuse to give them the satisfaction. Feeling powerless is the first step toward becoming powerless. By staying united, by refusing to surrender, we give ourselves a fighting chance.

We will continue to fight for each other.

Eight years ago, in the dark days when Republicans took full power in Washington, I thought the Affordable Care Act would be gone with a snap of a finger. But the American people rose up. Activists like the late, inimitable Ady Barkan and countless others put their bodies on the line. They made their voices heard. They saved health care for millions of families.

And a grassroots movement against far-right control took back the House in 2018, the White House in 2020, and the Senate in 2021. Don't let anyone tell you that those victories didn't make a real difference in people's lives. More people could afford to go to the doctor and fill a prescription. More people could go to work. More parents could afford to put food on the table for their kids and buy new coats for them in the winter. Lives were saved. And as the far right works to roll back what we've achieved, they'll hope we won't have the stomach to push back. But we can choose to prove them wrong.

We need each other. We take care of each other. And please, take care of yourself. Take the time you need right now to be angry, hurt, and confused. Hold your loved ones close. Find opportunities to be in community with others this week. Take social media breaks. Foster your connections. Make new ones. Reach out to someone you've lost touch with. Tell them you're with them no matter what lies ahead.

If the work you do makes a difference for just one person, that would be enough.

I will wake up every morning and choose to fight for our families, our freedoms, and our kids' futures. I will do everything I can in my position to defend our values and fight back.

And I will always be honored to fight by your side.

In the immediate-term, my colleague Jacky Rosen's Senate race in Nevada is still too close to call right now. We need to do everything we can to ensure Republicans can't gain any more power in the Senate. Every vote will matter. If you can pitch in anything you can to her campaign, your full donation will help support their ballot curing operation.

- Elizabeth

P.S. To everyone who volunteered, who phone banked, who texted, who knocked doors, who brought cookies to the volunteers, who put up a lawn sign, who gave part of themselves to be part of something bigger — for our re-election campaign in Massachusetts and for campaigns across the country — thank you. You are the beating heart of our democracy.

Warren for Senate

Happy Election Day, Danielle!

I know you might be feeling anxious about today. I understand that — there are many serious issues on the line.

But I hope you're also getting to appreciate the magic of casting your ballot.

There's something so special about Election Day. Dropping your mail-in ballot in the mailbox. The poll workers who give you a warm welcome. The roars of cheers in the room when it's announced that someone is a first-time voter. Getting your sticker after casting your ballot.

And after traveling around the country for Kamala Harris and campaigning for re-election here in Massachusetts, I'm feeling hopeful about today.

We've got great candidates up and down the ticket. We've got thousands of dedicated staffers and volunteers fighting their hearts out. And millions of people are speaking up and getting involved.

When I often visited swing states on the campaign trail, I'd ask folks to raise their hands if this was the first time they've volunteered. Danielle, so many people were putting up a hand, saying, "I might not have done this before, but wow, this one really, really, really, really matters."

In 2020, Americans showed up in record-shattering numbers — even in the middle of a pandemic — to vote out Donald Trump. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris won more votes than any ticket in history.

In the 2022 midterms, experts kept saying that we were in for a "red wave." They kept insisting that Democrats had no chance to win. But we expanded our Democratic Senate majority, and we defeated downballot election deniers.

And ever since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, and an abortion vote was put on a state's ballot, abortion rights won every. single. time.

Voters in places that nobody thought would be pro-choice stood up and said, "No, that is not who we want to be, and that is not what we want the government doing." The first vote was in Kansas. I remember when the first word came that Kansans wanted to vote on abortion, and the experts around the country said "Whoa, don't start in Kansas because there won't be enough people to really stand up and carry this." By golly, were they wrong.

When we use our power in our democracy — when we get in the fight and stay in the fight — we win.

Look, it's scary. The polls are very close. But MAGA extremists want us to feel powerless and hopeless. We won't give them the satisfaction.

So let's square our shoulders and take on today with hope in our hearts.

If you haven't voted yet, please go to IWillVote.com right now — find your polling place and make your plan to vote before the polls close tonight.

If you're already on your way to vote, get three friends, neighbors, or family members to come along and vote, too.

If you've already voted, share the IWillVote.com link with everyone and their mother, and their mother's mother, and their father, and their father's best friend, and your neighbors, and your group chat, and your old college study group's Facebook page that nobody has posted on for years.

Let them know why you're voting for Democrats. Remind them that our freedoms, our democracy, our climate, and our futures are at stake this year.

I know that can feel daunting, but we can win today, Danielle — as long as we all leave everything out on the field. So take a deep breath, and then take action.

We're going to win this and elect Kamala Harris.

Pinky promise.

Thanks for being a voter,

Elizabeth

P.S. If you've got some extra time today after talking with everyone in your circle, volunteer to make calls to voters from home with the Harris-Walz team. Contacting voters who haven't cast a ballot yet is one of the best ways to direct any anxious energy you've got right now.
