"it's no secret that i didn't want to see donald trump win yesterday," warren said in a statement. "i'm intensely frustrated by the apparent likelihood that, for the second time in five elections, a democratic nominee will have won the popular vote but lost the presidency in the electoral college. but the integrity of our democracy is more important than any individual election, and those of us who supported hillary clinton will respect this result. president-elect trump promised to rebuild our economy for working people, and i offer to put aside our differences and work with him on that task." story continued below in another attempt at post-election bipartisanship, senate banking committee ranking member sherrod brown touted his relationship with the likely incoming republican chairman, sen. mike crapo, an idaho republican. brown, an ohio democrat, noted their history of working together on the senate finance committee and said he hoped they would be able to "find common ground on reasonable, commonsense ideas." "americans who believe the system is rigged certainly don't want to see wall street write the rules," brown said in a statement. "we must continue fighting to preserve and strengthen wall street reforms that protect american families from being on the hook for another bailout" he added, "both presidential candidates proposed badly needed infrastructure investments that will help get americans back to work, so infrastructure should be a top priority for the committee next year. and i look forward to learning more about the president-elect's plans for revitalizing our cities." by bill scher by joshua zeitz by thomas wright by jack shafer
