Pelosi argued that it was the courage of House Democrats that saved the nation that day by insisting on quickly certifying the election and thereby demonstrating “to America, and the world, that American democracy persists.”

Ultimately, Pelosi argued, this election is a choice. A vote for Trump is a vote for tyranny, while a vote for Harris is a vote to “reject autocracy and defend democracy.” 

She also praised Harris as a politically astute candidate, skilled at “winning difficult elections,” noting how quickly she secured the presidential nomination following President Joe Biden’s ouster from the ticket.
