Statement from ICSC on Certification of President-Elect Biden’s Victory

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--“As our country faces unprecedented challenges, we’re pleased that Congress successfully certified President-Elect Biden’s election after a day of turmoil. Our nation desperately needs stability, unity, and commitment to our core democratic values, and the certification of President-Elect Biden’s victory is an important step in that process.

Make no mistake: Yesterday’s events at the Capitol were a stain on this country’s proud history of the peaceful transition of power. We urge our elected officials to work together to solve the great challenges of our time and display the leadership and unity we need, not further stoke tension and division. Now is the time to rebuild our economy, bring aid to families and businesses in need, and effectively manage the COVID-19 pandemic. We look forward to working with President-Elect Biden and all of our democratically elected officials to do so.”
