While mainstream outlets denied me a critical platform,
they didn’t shut down my ideas,
which have especially flourished among young voters
and independent voters
thanks to the alternative media.
Many months ago,
I promised the American people that I would withdraw from the race
if I became a spoiler.
A spoiler to someone will alter the outcome of the election,
but has no chance of winning.
In my heart,
I no longer believe that I have a realistic path to electoral victory
in the face of this relentless,
systematic censorship and media control.
So I cannot in good conscience
ask my staff and volunteers to keep working their long hours
or ask my donors to keep giving
when I cannot honestly tell them that I have a real path
to the White House. Furthermore,
our polling consistently showed that
by staying on the ballot in the battleground states,
I would likely hand the election over to the Democrats,
with whom I disagree on the most existential issues censorship,
war, and chronic disease.
I want everyone to know that I am not terminating my campaign.
I am simply suspending it and not not ending it. I name
my name will remain on the ballot in most states.
If you live in a blue state,
you can vote for me without harming or helping President Trump or.
Or vice or Vice President Harris.
In red states, the same will apply.
I encourage you to vote for me.
And if enough of you do vote,
For me. And neither of the major party candidates win 270 votes,
which is quite possible. In fact,
today our polling shows them tying at 2:69 to 2:69.
And I could conceivably still end up in the White House
in a contingent election,
but
in about 10 battleground states where my presence would be a spoiler,
I’m going to remove my name,
and I’ve already started that process.
And urge voters not to vote for me.
It’s with a sense of victory and not defeat
that I am suspending my campaign activities.
Not only what,
did we do the impossible by collecting a million signatures,
and we changed the national political conversation forever.
Chronic disease, free speech,
government corruption, breaking our addiction to war.
Have moved to the center of politics.
I can say to all who have worked so hard the last year and a half,
thank you for a job well done.
Three great causes drove me to enter this race in the first place,
primarily, and these are the principal causes
that persuaded me to leave the Democratic Democratic Party and.
And run as an independent
and now to throw my support to President Trump.
The. The clauses were free speech,
a war in Ukraine,
and the war on our children.
