Mark Kelly delivers victory speech: ‘We’ve been successful in this mission’
Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., said Saturday he’s “honored” to have been reelected to serve six more years.
“It's fantastic to be here today. And after more votes have been counted, you know, it's clear that we've been successful in this mission,” Kelly said as he delivered victory remarks in front of supporters and press outside a coffee shop in central Phoenix and with his wife, Gabby Giffords.
After thanking his staff and supporters, Kelly also thanked Arizona's election workers, just hours ahead of a protest planned outside the main tabulation center in Maricopa County.
Kelly’s Republican opponent, Blake Masters, meanwhile, has not conceded -- but said Saturday that he will concede if Kelly is ahead when all the votes are counted. The deadline to cure signatures in Arizona is Wednesday.
