Former President Barack Obama tweeted a New Year's message of reflection and encouragement on Tuesday.  "In 2018 people stepped up and showed up like never before," Obama wrote. "Keep it up in 2019. We've got a lot of work to do, and I'll be right there with you. Happy New Year, everybody!" On New Year's Eve, Hillary Clinton also weighed in on the year that was and the one ahead.  "In many ways, 2018 was a dark time for our country," she said via Instagram. "As it ends, I'm grateful to everyone who brought light into it: activists who protected kids at the border, journalists who stood up for truth, organizers who mobilized voters for the 2018 elections, candidates who ran races with grit and inspiration, voters who made their voices heard, and absolutely everyone who marched, donated, called, and protested to fight for the values we share."
"Here's to more light in 2019, and to a shared commitment to make it as bright as possible. Happy New Year," Clinton further noted.
