WASHINGTON—Dr. Kevin Roberts, President of The Heritage Foundation and Heritage Action, today congratulated President Trump on his victory in Tuesday’s election. 

“President Trump has achieved a historic and hard-fought victory: overcoming four sham indictments, surviving two assassination attempts, and overcoming an unprecedented mid-race candidate swap to become the first president since Grover Cleveland to win two nonconsecutive terms. He triumphed over a relentless left-wing machine intent on stopping him – and the will of the American people – at any cost. This is a victory for every American, and a testament to their indomitable spirit. 

 

“Despite the lies of the ruling elites, who told Americans that they were ‘garbage’ or ‘fascist’ for wanting to put America First, the workers and families who make up our nation stood firm.  

 

“We look forward to this historic term, during which President Trump has an opportunity to make America great, healthy, safe, and prosperous once again. The entire conservative movement stands united behind him as he prepares to secure our wide-open border, restore the rule of law, put parents back in charge of their children’s education, restore America to its proper place as a leader in manufacturing, put families and children first, and dismantle the deep state.”
