Statement by President Joe Biden on Moldova’s Presidential Elections
I congratulate Maia Sandu on her historic reelection as the President of Moldova.
On Sunday, the Moldovan people went to the polls and voted in favor of President Sandu’s vision for a secure, prosperous, and democratic Moldova. President Sandu’s reelection comes just two weeks after the Moldovan people passed a constitutional referendum in support of membership in the European Union.
For months, Russia sought to undermine Moldova’s democratic institutions and election processes. But Russia failed. The Moldovan people have exercised their democratic right to choose their own future, and they have chosen to pursue a path aligned with Europe and democracies everywhere.

I’m gonna remind you all once again, that today Twitter will be fire with all kinds of information; if you are ensure, please ask, I will work hard to verify any election related news, as quickly as I can.
As an example:
https://t.co/OhYPbW3uAc The link to the FBI statement. https://t.co/0rTtX6TiCC

The FBI was made aware of two instances of its name and insignia being misused in promoting false narratives surrounding the election. The first is a fabricated news clip purporting to be a terrorist warning issued by the FBI. The fabricated news clip reports falsely that the FBI purportedly stated that Americans should “vote remotely” due to a high terror threat at polling stations. This video is not authentic and does not accurately represent the current threat posture or polling location safety.
Additionally, a fabricated video containing a fabricated FBI press release alleges that the management of five prisons in Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Arizona rigged inmate voting and colluded with a political party. This video is also not authentic, and its contents are false.
Election integrity is among our highest priorities, and the FBI is working closely with state and local law enforcement partners to respond to election threats and protect our communities as Americans exercise their right to vote. Attempts to deceive the public with false content about FBI threat assessments and activities aim to undermine our democratic process and erode trust in the electoral system.
The FBI encourages everyone to seek election and voting information from reliable sources, such as your local election office. And if you suspect criminal activity, we ask that you report that information to state or local law enforcement or by contacting the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324), or by submitting a tip online to tips.fbi.gov.

Remembering Quincy Jones
From Monday…
Quincy Jones was a musical genius who transformed the soul of America – one beat, one rhythm, and one rhyme at a time.
— President Biden (@POTUS) November 4, 2024
Jill and I send our love to his entire family and everyone whose spirit was elevated by his extraordinary contributions.
Statement from President Joe Biden on the Passing of Quincy Jones
Quincy Jones was a musical genius who transformed the soul of America – one beat, one rhythm, and one rhyme at a time.
Growing up as a child facing segregation and poverty, he found music to be a refuge. As a teenager, he trained with some of the greatest musicians ever.
Over the next seven decades, he became a producer, composer, instrumentalist, executive, and so much more, discovering some of our most iconic artists and shaping the most memorable records and scores in history.
His God-given talent earned him countless awards and honors in music, film, and television. He was one of few Americans to earn an EGOT and received 28 Grammy Awards – among the most of all time.
In only a way he could, Quincy Jones solidified Black culture as American culture.
He was a great unifier, who believed deeply in the healing power of music to restore hope and uplift those suffering from hunger, poverty, and violence, in America and the continent of Africa.
Jill and I send our love to his entire family and everyone whose spirit was elevated by his extraordinary contributions.
May God bless Quincy Jones.

Statement from Vice President Kamala Harris on the Passing of Quincy Jones
Quincy Jones was a trailblazer.
Statement from Vice President Kamala Harris on the Passing of Quincy Jones. 11/04/2024.
He lived his life unapologetically, using his gifts to lift others up. He broke down barriers and opened doors for those who came after him, not for praise but because he knew the power of our shared potential.
For more than half a century, as a composer, arranger, record and movie producer, Quincy Jones created art that brought joy to millions of people. As an activist, Quincy Jones championed civil and human rights. He brought together artists who wanted to unite their voices to drive change. As a role model, in particular for young people of color in the music industry, Quincy Jones offered inspiration and mentorship.
I was honored to call Quincy a friend. I will always remember his generosity of spirit, his selfless support, and his deep kindness. Our world has lost a giant. But in his melodies, and in the lives he touched, Quincy’s legacy will live on forever.
Today, Doug and I are praying for the Jones family and all those who loved him.
