STATEMENT ON THE PREWIRENTIQL

To my fellow Americans, my incredible team, and every voter who believed in this journey: thank you. When the pundits wrote us off mid-campaign projecting us at a mere 66 Electoral Votes we didn't back down. Instead, we built a historic movement. We tripled that projection, shattered expectations, and decisively overtook both the Reform and American Independent Party candidates. We proved that the desire for real change in this country cannot be ignored. While we fell short of the White House tonight, we completely redefined the political map. I want to offer my sincere congratulations to Karl Freitag on his election to the presidency. I wish him strength and success as he leads our nation forward. But our fight is far from over. This movement didn't end at the ballot box today—it just found its next battlefield. That is why tonight, I am officially announcing my candidacy for the United States Senate. We have the momentum, we have the message, and we are just getting started. - LS
