00:00:00:00 - 00:00:12:00 In my heart. I no longer believe that I have a realistic past electoral victory in the face of this relentless, systematic censorship and media control. 00:00:12:03 - 00:00:25:16 I cannot in good conscience ask my staff and volunteers to keep working at long hours as my donors, to keep giving when I cannot, honestly to help them that I have a real path to the white House. 00:00:25:26 - 00:00:44:03 I want everyone to know that I am not terminating my campaign. I am simply suspending it and not not ending it. I am. My name will remain on the ballot in most states. 00:00:44:03 - 00:00:52:00 In about ten battleground states where my presence would be a spoiler, I'm going to remove my name. 00:00:52:02 - 00:00:56:05 And I've already started that process and urge voters not to vote for me. 00:00:56:05 - 00:01:18:17 It's with a sense of victory and not defeat that I am suspending my campaign activities. Not only 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. 00:01:18:19 - 00:01:44:20 I moved to the center of politics. I can say I've worked so hard the last year and a half. Thank you for a job well done. A great cause this 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. 00:01:44:22 - 00:01:57:00 And now to throw I support a President Trump. The other clauses were a free speech, the war in Ukraine and the war on our children.
