When I was leading soldiers in combat, it was never about me. It was about protecting my troops. I felt a sacred obligation to protect their lives.
Today I feel a similar obligation to safeguard every vote cast in this election - whether those votes were cast for me or not.

This election is no longer about who wins & who loses. It’s much bigger than that. It’s about preserving the institutions that have allowed this nation to endure for over two centuries.
We cannot allow artificial, agenda-driven, deadlines to dictate the outcome of this election. There is far too much at stake. The media doesn’t determine the outcome of elections, nor do the candidates themselves.
Winners & losers are chosen by the people at the conclusion of a process. That process begins on Election Day & ends when every legitimate vote has been counted & certified. It’s imperative that the people trust the process.
We must allow the Constitution to be our guide. We must follow the roadmap drawn by our Founding Fathers. There are no shortcuts on this journey.
When this election is over, the winners can celebrate their hard-fought victories & their opponents can gracefully concede. But we must allow this process to reach its constitutionally-prescribed conclusion in order to ensure that every American’s voice is heard.
