None of us can imagine how wrenching a presidential campaign can be. I am grateful that Americans like @BetoORourke go bravely into the arena because they love the country so much. They deserve nothing but our respect.
My respect for @BetoORourke grew immeasurably throughout the campaign. Mika and I were tough in our initial assessments of Beto, but grew to greatly respect him for his hard work and determination.
Thank you @BetoORourke, and a special thanks to your family for supporting you on such a tough process. God bless you!
