As Americans prepare to vote on Election Day, the beloved characters from Sesame Street are sending out supportive messages via social media.

Beginning on November 2, which marked Cookie Monster’s birthday, Sesame Street shared a cheerful photo of him on X, with a message stating: “Just a reminder that you are doing your best, and that is more than enough. It’s okay to take it one day at a time.”

Other Sesame Street characters joined the social media effort as early voters made their selections for the upcoming 2024 presidential election.

“When I feel overwhelmed, my Mommy tells me to step outside, breathe deeply, and appreciate nature,” Mr. Snuffleupagus shared in a post.

Grover expressed his pride in his followers, stating, “I am proud of you, my friend. I just wanted to let you know!”

Abby Cadabby added, “You make our community so magical!”

Here’s a glimpse of how followers reacted to the Sesame Street messages.

Grover Acknowledges ‘It’s Normal to Feel Anxious’

While Sesame Street characters offered uplifting words, they also recognized that many voters might be feeling a bit anxious about the election.

“We all encounter moments of overwhelming feelings, and that’s perfectly fine. Remember, you are not alone,” was a key message from Sesame Street.

In a post from November 4, Grover was shown alongside the encouraging message, “It’s okay to feel anxious.”

Followers took to the comments to share their thoughts with the friendly muppet.

“Oh, Grover. I am more than just anxious,” one user commented. “But thanks for listening. Now, where’s Cookie Monster? Maybe stress-eating will help.”

Others expressed gratitude towards Sesame Street for their ever-present support.

“Definitely not crying at Sesame Street right now,” a user posted. “Thanks, guys! Who would have thought we’d still look to our childhood favorites for assurance that everything would be okay?”

“I was worried about being anxious, but now I feel a bit better,” another user mentioned. “Thanks, Sesame Street.”

Elmo Sends Extra Love on Election Day

On Monday, Elmo reached out to his followers with a reassuring message on X.

“Hi friend! Elmo loves you,” he shared in his post. “And Elmo will remind you every day if you need him to.”

As election week kicked off, social media users expressed their appreciation for Elmo’s uplifting message.

“Elmo, buddy, it’s going to be a tough week for everyone while we wait for the votes to be counted,” one user wrote. “Stick around; we could really use some wholesome content!”

A user even inquired whether Elmo had cast his vote yet.

“Thanks @elmo. Today was a great day to hear that! Have you voted yet?” the user asked.

Despite the anxiety many adults expressed regarding this year’s election, Sesame Street earned heartfelt appreciation from all.

“Thanks Elmo, we’re all going through a tough time, but it feels great to know you still care. We all love you, too!” another user said.
