The Clintons and Obamas have shared their reaction to former President Trump winning a second term in the 2024 election in a statements posted to social media.
“We want to congratulate President Trump and Senator Vance on their victory. This is obviously not the outcome we had hoped for, given our profound disagreements with the Republican ticket on a whole host of issues. But living in a democracy is about recognizing that our point of view won’t always win out, and being willing to accept the peaceful transfer of power,” the Obamas wrote in a statement on Wednesday evening posted on X.

“Michelle and I could not be prouder of Vice President Harris and Governor Walz – two extraordinary public servants who ran a remarkable campaign. And we will always be grateful to the staff and volunteers who poured their heart and soul into electing public servants they truly believed in,” the former first couple also said.
The Clintons praised Harris and Walz for a “positive, forward-looking campaign to be proud of.”
