    My message to everyone struggling right now is this: Help is on the way.

    We need to deliver immediate relief for the American people and build our economy back better than ever. Tune in as I introduce key members of my economic team for the first time. https://t.co/6NNZaaWfA8

    My administration won’t just build back to the way things were before — we’re going to build back better. We’re going to ensure every single American has a fair shot to get ahead.

    Meanwhile, 3 hrs. ago, Bernie tweeted a 10 minute video speech in which explains actual very specific points he is going to fight for as a Senator that he says MUST be done in the first 100 days of the Biden administration. Jumping the gun as it were, before they can get to it, no Biden-Harris generalities for him. He uses the words "bold and "aggressively" several times:

    These are unprecedented times and Congress and the Biden administration must respond in an unprecedented way.

    If we are going to restore faith in the American political system, we must act boldly. pic.twitter.com/yNJqw9W0RR

    He basically says he gets it why they can't go public until the Electoral College vote & no probl

    I think the best thing is if he leaves in a huff and sulks like a petulant child.

    They can have a picture-in-picture of him sitting in the corner with a dunce cap on the whole inauguration.

    I am VERY encouraged by what I have seen so far; this is spin of a kind and very good spin! It seems as if they are keeping up with the vacancies and chaos in the Trump administration and are timing their announcements of cabinet to coincide. First I thought I might be imagining it, but it's happened too many times now. This is the "help is on the way" message, it is pre-emptive messaging not just to the whole country but the whole world, to stop anything from tumbling down too much more. I.E.. don't worry, Americans, hold on tight, these grownups will arrive soon; and to the rest of the world: ignore the clowns, things will be back to normal soon, and you bad actors better not try anything in the interim or you'll be sorry...

    The campaign’s empathetic digital strategy held up surprisingly well against President Trump’s passionate digital following.
