The walking nightmare of the past four years is over, but the country and its inhabitants will be sorting out the mess for years — maybe decades — to come.

I’ve never been prouder to be an American, but never more worried too. There’s so much damage to repair and so much time to make up for.

Still, I’m very hopeful for the future and I can’t wait to be a part of what’s next. Rebuilding this country will take all of us.
