In my heart,
I no longer believe that I have a realistic path to electoral victory.
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.
I want everyone to know that I am not terminating my campaign.
I am simply suspending it and not not ending it.
My name will remain on the ballot in most states.
My joining the Trump campaign will be a difficult sacrifice,
or my wife and children about worthwhile
if there’s even a small set chance of.
Of saving these kids. The most unifying theme for all Americans
is that we all love our children.
If we all unite around that issue now,
we can finally give them the Protection,
the health,
and the future that they deserve.
